Triangular Plant Spacing Calculator
Fit more plants into the same bed by staggering rows in a triangular pattern instead of a plain square grid. Enter the bed length and width in feet and the spacing you want between plant centers in inches, and the calculator compares both layouts side by side. In a triangular or offset arrangement each row shifts by half a spacing and sits closer to the next, so the vertical gap between rows shrinks to about 0.866 of the spacing, which packs roughly fifteen percent more plants into the area. This works well for lettuce, strawberries, onions and other crops grown in blocks. The tool shows the plant count for each pattern and the extra plants you gain. All math runs locally in your browser with no signup.

Frequently asked questions
How does triangular spacing fit more plants than a grid?
Offsetting every other row lets rows sit closer while keeping the same plant-to-plant distance, so a staggered hexagonal pattern packs more plants into the same bed.
How much more can staggered planting gain?
For the same spacing, a triangular layout can fit roughly 15 percent more plants than a square grid, and the tool shows the exact extra plants gained.
When is a square grid better?
Square grids are simpler to lay out and cultivate between rows, so the tool compares both so you can weigh the extra yield against the extra effort.
