Plants per Plot...

If your like me and have to figure out how many plants can fit into an off sized plot use this formula…

(Height/Space) x (Width/Space)= Total per plot
(Total per Plot) x (# of plots for plant)= total plant type

These formulas give you the number of plants you are able to fit in any given space or plot in a square foot garden, especially, if they aren't quite square feet and how many plants you'll need total. It also gives you the number of rows and columns per plot.

H/SPC. = # of Columns
Width/SPC. = # of Rows

I have 8 square foot plots, 4 plots that are 9x12, one plot that's 3x21, and one that's 3x12. Each plot had to be calculated depending on the occupying plant spacing.

Examples:

Danver126 Plots: 3inch space
Size: (9x12)
(9/3)x(12/3)=
3x4= 12 per plot
12x4= 48 Danver126 plants

Red Core Chantenay: 3 inch space
Plots- 2
Size1- 3x12
Size2- 3x21
(3/3)x(12/3)=
1x4= 4
(3/3)x(21/3)=
1x7= 7
7+4= 11 plants
Note: the formula above for total plants only applies if the plots are the same size.
