Plant Spacing And Quantity Calculator
Plant Spacing And Quantity: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers bed area (m2 or sq ft). Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Plant Spacing And Quantity Calculator is a planned calculator in the home and energy section of Super Calculator, covering home and garden.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: bed area (m2 or sq ft), spacing (cm or in), pattern (square/triangular) and edge allowance (cm).
Outputs: plants required (n), rows and columns (n), density (plants/m2) and cost (currency).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Plants required on a square grid equal area divided by spacing squared; on a triangular or staggered grid the density is higher by a factor of about 1.155, which is why staggered planting is standard for ground cover.
