Garden & Yard: The Brofessionals Guide

Growing food, keeping the lawn alive, and automating the boring parts. This hub covers the garden and yard projects that actually pay off: raised beds you can fill without going broke, drip irrigation you can set up in a weekend, and the new generation of wire-free robot mowers that finally work.

Start here

Building your first raised bed? Start with how to fill it cheaply — the layered method saves real money — and what soil mix your vegetables actually want. Planting by the calendar? Our zone-by-zone guides tell you what goes in the ground this month, for your zone, not in general.

What we review

Drip irrigation kits, grow bags, soil and fertilizer, battery yard tools from EGO, Ryobi, and Greenworks, and robot mowers from Segway Navimow, Mammotion, and eufy. If it makes the yard better with less effort, we’ll test it.
