THE FORMULA

How the result is calculated

Plants per row = floor(length in inches ÷ spacing). Row count uses the same calculation across the bed width; total plants multiply the two whole counts.

SproutScale preserves full precision while calculating and rounds only the displayed result or the final purchasable unit.

FIELD NOTES

Before you act

  • Use mature plant spacing from the seed packet or variety guide.
  • Leave access paths outside the measured planting area.
  • Staggered layouts may fit more plants than this conservative grid.
QUICK ANSWERS

Plant spacing FAQ

Is spacing measured edge to edge?

Garden spacing is normally center to center, which is what this calculator assumes.

Can I use row spacing different from plant spacing?

This quick tool uses equal spacing. For traditional rows, calculate plants per row and choose the number of rows separately.
