💡 Pro Tip
Always check the mature spread (not just height) of plants before spacing. Crowded plants compete for light and nutrients, increasing disease pressure and reducing yields.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you calculate plant spacing?
For square spacing: divide bed length by spacing, then multiply by bed width divided by spacing. Example: 10ft × 10ft bed with 12-inch spacing = 10 × 10 = 100 plants.
Q: What is triangular plant spacing?
Triangular spacing staggers rows for 15% more plants in the same space. Multiply the square spacing result by 1.15 for triangular grid layout.
