Countertop HarvestBy the Countertop Harvest team · Last updated · How we choose products
Countertop Harvest is free to read. It’s paid for by affiliate links: when you buy something through some of our links, the store pays us a small commission. The price you pay is the same.
Programs we’re part of
| Program | What it covers | Typical commission |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Associates | Smart gardens, grow lights, Lost Coast Plant Therapy and other gear on Amazon | A few percent; Amazon sets the rate by category |
| Botanical Interests (via Awin) | Seeds and seed bundles | A percentage of the sale |
| SeedsNow (via Refersion) | Seeds, variety packs and sprouting seed | A percentage of the sale |
| Click & Grow (via Rakuten) | Smart gardens and plant pods (joined October 2026) | A percentage of the sale |
Links that earn us nothing
Plenty of our links don’t pay us at all, and we keep them anyway because they’re useful: links to Gardyn, direct links to some makers’ own sites, and every link to a university extension service or other source. We don’t earn from Gardyn in any form.
What we don’t do
- No display ads and no sponsored posts.
- No paid placements in guides.
- If a brand ever sends us a free product, the page that covers it will say so.
- No selling your email. The newsletter is free, and you can unsubscribe anytime. See our privacy policy.
How we keep it fair
Commission rates don’t decide what we recommend. Many guides start with free fixes, like more light or a better cut, before any product. Read how we choose products for the details.
Where the disclosure lives
Every page with affiliate links carries a disclosure at the bottom, and links that can earn us money are marked as sponsored in the page code. Questions? Email [email protected].
