GrowMyGarden — Disclaimer
Hey, glad you’re here. Before you dig in (pun fully intended), I want to be upfront about a few things. This page explains what GrowMyGarden is, what it isn’t, and how everything works behind the scenes. No legal jargon. No walls of copy-paste text. Just plain, honest talk.
🌱 What GrowMyGarden Actually Is
GrowMyGarden is a free gardening resource built for everyday home gardeners — people growing tomatoes in containers on a balcony, planning their first raised bed, or trying to figure out how much soil they actually need.
Everything here — the calculators, the growing guides, the planting tips — is written and built to help you plan smarter and grow with more confidence. This is not a university extension service, a certified horticulture program, or a government agriculture body. It’s a gardening site run by someone who genuinely loves growing things and wants to make it easier for you too.
🧮 About the Calculators and Their Results
The tools on this site — plant spacing, seed quantities, harvest estimates, soil volumes, watering schedules, fertilizer amounts, planting dates, and garden costs — are designed to give you a solid starting point.
But here’s the honest truth: no calculator can account for your exact backyard.
Results will vary based on:
- Your local climate and microclimate (even two gardens in the same city can behave differently)
- Your specific soil type, drainage, and quality
- The seed variety or plant species you’re working with
- How much sun, shade, wind, or rain your space gets
- Pest pressure, diseases, and other surprises that every gardener knows too well
The numbers these tools give you are estimates, not guarantees. Use them as a starting framework — then adjust based on what your garden actually tells you. That’s how real gardening works anyway.
📚 The Guides Are for Information, Not Professional Advice
Everything written on GrowMyGarden — from the beginner vegetable guides to the pest control articles — is meant to educate and inspire, not to replace advice from a local nursery professional, agricultural extension officer, or certified horticulturist.
If you’re dealing with a serious plant disease, a pest outbreak that’s spreading fast, or you’re growing crops commercially, please talk to a qualified local expert. They know your region, your soil, and your conditions in ways a website simply can’t.
Any gardening decision you make based on something you read here is ultimately your call. I share what I know and what works for many growers — but gardening is personal, and your results may look different.
🔗 Affiliate Links — Here’s the Deal
Some links on this site are affiliate links. That means if you click a link and buy something, I may earn a small commission — at zero extra cost to you. It’s one of the ways I keep this site free for everyone.
I only ever link to tools, products, or resources that I genuinely think are useful. I’m not going to recommend a bad soil bag just to make a dollar. That said, you should always do your own research before buying anything, and the final purchase decision is always yours.
If you’d rather not use an affiliate link, you can always search for the product directly. No hard feelings at all.
📢 Ads on This Site
GrowMyGarden uses Google AdSense and may use other ad networks. These ads help keep everything free — no paywalls, no subscriptions, no login required.
The ads you see are served by Google and other third-party networks. They may use cookies and browsing data to show you ads that are relevant to your interests. I don’t control which specific ads appear, and I’m not responsible for the content or claims made in any advertisement.
If an ad ever seems misleading or inappropriate, you’re welcome to contact me and I’ll look into it.
🌐 Links to Other Websites
From time to time, articles and guides on this site link out to other websites — seed companies, gardening organizations, research sources, and so on. I try to link only to reputable, helpful places.
But I can’t control what happens on someone else’s website. Their content, policies, and practices are their own. Clicking external links is always at your own discretion.
✏️ Mistakes Happen (I’ll Fix Them)
I do my best to keep everything accurate and up to date. But I’m one person running a gardening site — not a team of editors. Occasionally, outdated information slips through, or I get something wrong.
If you spot an error — a wrong planting date, an off calculation, a broken link — please let me know. I take corrections seriously and update content when needed.
📷 Images and Fair Use
Some images and references used on this site may fall under fair use for educational purposes. If you believe any content on this site uses your material without proper credit, please reach out directly and I’ll address it promptly.
