Affiliate disclosure
Raised Garden Bed Planters is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. The price you pay is the same either way. This page explains how that works, which programs we participate in, and how we handle the conflict of interest.
Programs we participate in
We participate in the following affiliate and ad programs as of this writing:
- Amazon Associates. As an Amazon Associate we earn from
qualifying purchases made through Amazon links on this site. Our Amazon
affiliate tag is
nichediscov08-20and is appended to every Amazon URL we publish. - Skimlinks. Some outbound links to retailers (Home Depot, Lowe's, Wayfair, and others in the Skimlinks merchant network) are automatically converted to affiliate links by Skimlinks. We earn a commission on qualifying purchases through those links.
- Google AdSense. Display advertising on this site is served by Google AdSense. We are paid based on ad impressions and clicks; we do not control which specific ads are shown.
If we add or remove programs, this page is updated. We do not currently participate in any direct-brand affiliate relationships outside the networks named above.
How affiliate links appear on the site
Outbound product links on this site are routed through a redirect on our own
domain (paths beginning with /go/) before forwarding to the
retailer. This lets us measure which recommendations are useful to readers
without third-party tracking, and makes affiliate links inspectable: you can
see where any link goes by hovering over it before clicking.
Editorial independence
Affiliate relationships do not change which products we recommend. We have never accepted payment in exchange for a recommendation, and we will not. When a product is bad — or when it's mediocre in a category where better options exist — we say so, even if we earn a commission on it. See our editorial standards for the corrections policy and conflict-of-interest framing.
What we do and don't do
Our research is desk research, not hands-on testing. We synthesize manufacturer specifications, third-party reviews from publications and independent channels, owner-review aggregates (Amazon, Home Depot, manufacturer Q&A), and gardening literature. Where a recommendation hinges on a claim we can't verify from these sources, we say so in the article rather than guess. We are not a hands-on testing publication, and we don't pretend to be one. See our methodology for the full process.
How our articles are produced
Articles on this site are produced by a structured editorial pipeline that uses AI tools (large language models) for research synthesis, drafting, and editing under human direction at each stage. A human operator decides what gets researched, approves what gets published, reviews the final product for accuracy and recommendation logic, and is accountable for any errors. We use AI where it accelerates work without compromising quality, and not where it would (which products earn a recommendation, how to handle conflicts of interest, and corrections to published content). See our methodology for the full pipeline.
