Editorial & corrections policy
Last updated: 2026-07-05
Editorial standards
- No invented data. Prices, coverage ratings and specs are verified against official UK sources before publication, with the check date shown. If we can't verify something, we say so or leave it out.
- No fake testing. We do not claim hands-on experience we don't have. Reviews state their evidence basis at the top; third-party findings are credited to the publication that produced them.
- Recommendations before monetisation. Products are ranked by fit for the reader's garden. Several current top picks carry no affiliate relationship at all, and we mark which links earn us commission and which don't.
- Dated content. Every guide shows when it was last genuinely reviewed. We don't bump dates without substantive changes.
- AI assistance, human accountability. Drafting on this site is assisted by AI tools; product data verification, source checking and editorial judgement follow the process on our How We Compare page, and the site owner is accountable for everything published.
Corrections policy
When we get something wrong, we fix it — visibly and quickly:
- Factual errors (wrong price, wrong spec, wrong availability) are corrected as soon as verified, and the page's last-updated date reflects the change.
- Material errors that could have affected a buying decision get a correction note on the page itself, not a silent edit. Example of the standard we hold ourselves to: in July 2026 we corrected the Mammotion Luba Mini AWD's price from £999 (a third-party roundup figure we should not have trusted) to the official £1,199, and rewrote the affected guides.
- Reader-reported errors are prioritised — a correction email is the most valuable message we receive. Report an error here.
What we don't publish
- Sponsored rankings or paid placements (none exist on this site).
- "Reviews" of products with no verifiable UK availability.
- Urgency theatre — fake countdowns, invented stock warnings, or deal language for ordinary prices.
