Garden Companion Planting Spacing Calculator
Plan your garden bed layout by figuring out exactly how many plants of a given spacing will fit, how many rows you'll need, and a rough total yield estimate.
About this calculator
Calculate how many plants fit in your garden bed based on spacing requirements and estimate total yield potential across companion planting rows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is plant spacing different from row spacing?
Plant spacing is the distance between plants within a single row, while row spacing is the distance between parallel rows. Both affect airflow, sunlight, and root competition.
Does this account for irregular bed shapes?
No, this calculator assumes a rectangular bed. For irregular shapes, break the area into rectangular sections and calculate separately.
Why is my yield estimate different from reality?
Yield per plant varies by variety, soil quality, climate, and care. Use your own historical data or seed packet estimates for best accuracy.
