By using FJK Grow Your Own ("the site"), you agree to the terms below. Please read them alongside our Privacy Policy.
Everything on this site — crop guides, pest and disease information, soil advice, tool recommendations, construction guidance for raised beds and fencing, and the Crop Doctor diagnostic tool — is written as general gardening guidance for home growers. It is not a substitute for professional horticultural, structural, safety, veterinary, or legal advice.
In particular, before acting on anything involving chemical products (pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, wood treatments), always read and follow the product manufacturer's own label and safety instructions, which take precedence over anything described here. Product approvals and legal status change over time and may differ from what's described on this site.
The Crop Doctor tool asks you questions about what you're observing and suggests a likely identification and possible next steps, based on common patterns. It is a general guide, not a certified diagnosis, and cannot account for every possible cause of a plant problem. If a suspected pest or disease is legally notifiable (such as fire blight or Japanese knotweed), or if you have any doubt, contact the relevant authority or a professional directly.
We put real effort into keeping the information on this site accurate and useful, but gardening advice depends heavily on your specific soil, climate, and conditions, which we cannot know. We make no warranty, express or implied, that any guidance on this site is complete, current, or suitable for your particular situation. Use of any advice on this site is at your own risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, FJK Grow Your Own is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site's content — including but not limited to plant losses, structural issues with beds or fencing built using our guidance, or reactions to products mentioned.
This site may link to external sites (for example, further reading on Wikipedia). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of external sites.
The text, images, and design of this site are the property of FJK Grow Your Own unless otherwise stated. Please don't reproduce substantial parts of the site elsewhere without asking first.
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
