Use our plant spacing calculator to easily determine the optimal distance between your plants for a thriving garden.
Plant Spacing Calculator
This plant spacing calculator helps you to determine the number of plants that will fit into a specific area. You’ll need to know the spacing between the plants, the spacing between the rows, and the dimensions of the growing area.
How to Use the Calculator
1. Enter the plant spacing in inches. This is the distance you plan to leave between each plant in a row.
2. Enter the row spacing in inches. This is the distance between rows of plants.
3. Enter the length of the growing area in feet.
4. Enter the width of the growing area in feet.
5. Click on “Calculate” to get the result.
How It Calculates
This calculator converts the area dimensions from feet to inches (since plants and row spacing are provided in inches). Then, it calculates the number of plants per row and the number of rows, and multiplies these two figures to find the total number of plants.
Limitations
This calculator assumes that the area is rectangular and the planting is done in straight rows. It does not accommodate irregular shapes or varied plant spacing within a single area. Additionally, it does not take into account practical gardening considerations such as walking paths.
