At MyBackyardGrow, transparency and honesty are the foundations of everything we do. Our goal is to provide accurate, useful, and trustworthy information about automotive tools, gardening tools, fertilizers & soil care, and hand tools so you can make confident purchasing and project decisions.

This Disclosure explains how we operate, how we may earn income from this website, and how we maintain our commitment to impartiality and trustworthiness.

1. Purpose of This Disclosure

We believe our readers deserve to know exactly how our content is created, how our recommendations are formed, and whether we receive any form of compensation.

This page outlines:

• How we generate revenue

• Our relationships with affiliate partners

• Our product review and recommendation process

• How advertisements are handled

• Our ethical and editorial standards

By being transparent, we aim to protect your trust—because without your trust, MyBackyardGrow would not exist.

2. Affiliate Links and Commissions

MyBackyardGrow participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a small commission if you purchase a product through certain links on our website.

How it works:

• When you click an affiliate link on our site, you are redirected to a third-party retailer.

• If you make a purchase on their site, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

• These commissions help support the operation of MyBackyardGrow, allowing us to create more content, test more tools, and provide free resources.

Programs We Participate In:

We may be part of, but not limited to:

• Amazon Associates Program

• Specialized affiliate programs for automotive tools, gardening supplies, fertilizers, and hardware brands

• Marketplace affiliate partnerships (e.g., eBay Partner Network, Walmart Affiliate Program)

Important Note: The price you pay for a product is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the seller’s website.

3. Product Reviews and Recommendations

Our reviews and buying guides are based on research, testing, and real-world experience.

Our Review Process:

1. Research – We analyze product specifications, brand reputation, and customer feedback.

2. Testing (When Possible) – We use products ourselves or evaluate them through trusted hands-on reviews.

3. Comparison – We compare products side-by-side for quality, value, and usability.

4. Final Recommendation – We only recommend products we genuinely believe are worth your money.

While we may earn commissions from affiliate links, compensation does not influence our reviews. Our reputation depends on giving honest advice—even if that means recommending a less expensive option.

4. Sponsored Content

Sometimes, brands may approach us to feature their products or services. If we accept sponsored content:

• We will clearly label it as “Sponsored” or “Paid Promotion”.

• We only work with brands that align with our values and provide relevant, high-quality products.

• Sponsorship does not guarantee a positive review—we maintain editorial control.

5. Advertising

We may display banner ads or contextual ads on our site through advertising networks such as:

• Google AdSense

• Other third-party advertising platforms

These ads:

• Are clearly distinguishable from editorial content

• May be based on your browsing activity

• Do not affect our editorial independence

We do not endorse every product advertised via third-party networks.

6. No Professional Advice

While we provide detailed guides on automotive tools, gardening, fertilizers, and hand tools, the content is for informational purposes only. We are not licensed mechanics, certified horticulturists, or professional contractors (unless explicitly stated for a specific contributor).

Before acting on our advice:

• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions

• Use safety equipment when working with tools and machinery

• Consult a certified professional if you are unsure about a project

7. Accuracy and Updates

We work hard to keep our information accurate and up to date. However:

• Product specifications, prices, and availability can change without notice

• Errors can occur despite our best efforts

• We may update or revise articles as new information becomes available

If you notice outdated or incorrect information, please contact us at [your email] so we can correct it.

8. External Links

MyBackyardGrow contains links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for:

• The content, policies, or practices of those websites

• Any issues that arise from transactions with third-party sellers

Please review the terms and privacy policies of external websites before making a purchase.

9. How We Handle Free Products

Occasionally, companies may send us products for free in exchange for a review. If we receive such a product:

• We will disclose it clearly in the article

• We will give an honest review regardless of whether the feedback is positive or negative

• Receiving a free product does not guarantee favorable coverage

10. Conflict of Interest

We avoid situations where our personal interests could conflict with our duty to provide honest and unbiased content.
If a potential conflict arises:

• We will disclose it to our readers

• We will take steps to ensure our recommendations remain unbiased

11. Reader Responsibility

We encourage our readers to:

• Verify product details before purchase

• Compare multiple sources before making a decision

• Practice safe usage of all tools and chemicals

We are here to guide and inform—but the final purchasing decision is always yours.

12. FTC Compliance

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires websites like ours to disclose:

• If we earn commissions from product recommendations

• If we receive free products or sponsorships

• The nature of our relationships with brands

This Disclosure ensures MyBackyardGrow complies with these guidelines.

13. Our Commitment to Honesty

At the heart of MyBackyardGrow is a promise:

• We will never recommend a product we wouldn’t use ourselves.
