Square Foot Garden Planner

0total plants
0grid squares
0plants per square

Lay out a square foot garden the classic way by dividing a raised bed into a grid of one foot squares and planting a set number in each. Enter how many squares run along the length and width of your bed to get the total squares, then pick a crop from the density guide, from one large plant like a tomato per square up to sixteen small plants like carrots or radishes. The planner multiplies the density by your squares to show the total plants the bed will hold. This method packs a lot of food into a small footprint while keeping paths clear and weeding simple. Change the crop or the grid to compare layouts instantly. All math runs locally in your browser with no signup.

Frequently asked questions

How does the planner know plants per square?

Square foot gardening assigns a set number of plants to each one foot square by crop, so it multiplies that per-square count by the number of squares in your grid.

What grid does this method use?

It divides the bed into one foot squares in the Mel Bartholomew style, so a four by four bed becomes sixteen independent planting squares.

Why do different crops get different counts per square?

Plant size sets the density, so one large plant like a tomato fills a square while sixteen small radishes share one, which the tool reflects per crop.
