Plant layout calculator
Count plants and see rows in a rectangular bed.
Metric units as labelled. Prices, where used, are in EUR.
Method and limits
Subtract the free border from both sides of each dimension. Whole positions per row = floor(usable length ÷ plant spacing); rows = floor(usable width ÷ row spacing). The uniform grid does not select appropriate crop spacing.
Worked example
With the editable starting values: 14 plants. 2 rows × 7 plants per row · usable area: 2.2 m²
- Inside bed length (m): 2.4
- Inside bed width (m): 1.2
- Free border on each edge (cm): 10
- Plant spacing in a row (cm): 30
- Row spacing (cm): 40
Frequently asked questions
Are these starting values recommendations?
No. They are editable examples. Use your own measurements and the product label or quoted specification.
What should I check before using the result?
Subtract the free border from both sides of each dimension. Whole positions per row = floor(usable length ÷ plant spacing); rows = floor(usable width ÷ row spacing). The uniform grid does not select appropriate crop spacing.
Are units and prices converted automatically?
No. These tools use the metric units shown next to each field. Monetary inputs and results are in EUR; enter the relevant EUR tariff or quote. No currency conversion or live prices are applied.
