Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site earn us a commission if you buy through them, at no additional cost to you. Here is exactly how that works and what it does not change. Below: the practical detail on affiliate disclosure, and what most guides leave out.

The disclosure

Vermont Composting participates in affiliate programmes, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you buy through certain links here we may earn a commission. The price you pay is the same either way.

What it does not affect

Commission rates play no part in what gets recommended, in what order, or in how it is described. Where a product has a real flaw, the flaw is stated whether or not the link earns anything. Where the honest recommendation is to buy nothing, that is what the page says.

Where you will see it

Any page carrying affiliate links displays a disclosure above the fold, before the content, not only in the footer.

Current status: the buying guides do not yet contain product recommendations, because the products have not been used for long enough to write about honestly.
