Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, this site may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
What that does and does not change
It does not change the price you pay. Affiliate commissions are paid by the retailer out of their margin.
It does not determine what we recommend. Product suggestions here follow from the agronomy — from what Alabama Extension and other land-grant research says a Tuscaloosa lawn actually needs. Where a recommendation exists, it exists because the underlying guidance supports it, and the sourcing is linked so you can check the reasoning yourself.
It does mean we have a financial interest in some links. You should know that, weigh it, and price it into how much you trust any recommendation — here or anywhere else.
Our general position on products
Most lawn problems in Tuscaloosa are not solved by buying something.
The highest-value actions on a lawn here are free or nearly free: mowing at the right height, following the one-third rule, watering deeply and infrequently in the early morning, and applying pre-emergent in the right week rather than the wrong one. A ten-dollar soil test prevents more wasted money than any product prevents problems.
We would rather tell you that than sell you a bag of something.
