Enter bed size and select crops to estimate plant counts from real spacing data — printable.
Select crops (spacing auto-filled from our database):
A 8 × 4 ft bed is 32 sq ft. With the selected crops you can fit roughly 667 plants (grid spacing, no paths).
| Crop | Spacing | Per row | Rows | Plants |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tomato | 24″ | 5 | 3 | 15 |
| Lettuce | 8″ | 13 | 7 | 91 |
| Carrot | 3″ | 33 | 17 | 561 |
Plant counts are a grid estimate based on each crop's recommended spacing. In practice leave paths and thin as needed. Combine with the planting calendar for timing.
