How to use this
Row spacing sets how many rows fit along the bed length; in-row plant spacing sets how many plants go down each row. A risk buffer accounts for germination loss, pest pressure, and weather damage — 15% is a reasonable default for healthy outdoor beds.
This estimator assumes a simple grid. Intensive spacing or staggered plantings pack more in; see the Planting Density calculator.
Formula
plants = floor(length ÷ row_spacing) × floor(width ÷ plant_spacing)
gross = plants × yield_per_plant
conservative = gross × (1 − buffer)
