Plant spacing
Lay out a rectangular planting grid.
How this works
Plants per row = floor(length ÷ plant spacing); rows = floor(width ÷ row spacing). Multiply the counts.
Example
Using the example inputs, rectangular grid capacity is 32 plants.
- Bed length
- 8 ft
- Bed width
- 4 ft
- Plant-to-plant spacing
- 12 in
- Row spacing
- 12 in
- Rectangular grid capacity
- 32 plants
Assumes a half-spacing margin at every edge. Choose spacing from the plant’s growing guidance.
Scope and assumptions
A layout calculation, not a planting recommendation. Mature size, crop type and access paths affect practical spacing.
