Can I pitch a topic for you to cover?

Absolutely. Tell me what problem you are trying to solve, what resources you have on hand, and why existing tutorials missed the mark. Reader-suggested topics often turn into new long-form guides.

Do you accept product samples?

I occasionally test gear that solves a clear lawn-to-garden challenge. Samples are evaluated with the same editorial standards and disclosed in any resulting coverage. Email first before sending something so we can confirm it fits current trials.
