## Overview (en)

Garden plant spacing calculator estimates how many plants fit in a rectangular bed from its length and width in meters and the plant spacing in centimeters. Choose a rectangular grid or a staggered layout, in which rows sit closer together and alternate rows shift by half a space. Plants keep half the spacing clear from each edge.

## Questions (en)

### How many plants fit in my garden bed?

Enter the bed length and width in meters and the spacing in centimeters. The result shows the number of rows and the approximate plant count for the chosen layout.

### What is the difference between rectangular and staggered planting?

In a rectangular grid, rows are one spacing apart. In a staggered layout rows are about 0.866 of the spacing apart and alternate rows have one fewer plant.

### Does the plant spacing calculator include a border?

Yes. Plant centers keep half the spacing away from the bed edges. Irregular bed shapes and crop-specific margins are not included.
