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.
