Garden Layout
Square Foot Gardening divides raised beds into 1×1 foot squares, each planted with a specific number of plants based on spacing needs.
Total Squares = Bed Length × Bed Width
Plants per Square = Based on spacing requirement
Plants per square foot:
- 16 per sq ft: Radishes, carrots, onions (3" spacing)
- 9 per sq ft: Beets, spinach, lettuce (4" spacing)
- 4 per sq ft: Swiss chard, herbs, garlic (6" spacing)
- 1 per sq ft: Peppers, broccoli, cabbage (12" spacing)
- 1 per 2 sq ft: Cucumber, zucchini (18" spacing)
- 1 per 4 sq ft: Tomato (24" spacing, needs cage)
Recommended bed sizes:
- Beginner: 4’ × 4’ (16 sq ft)
- Standard: 4’ × 8’ (32 sq ft)
- Large: 4’ × 12’ (48 sq ft)
Important: Keep beds 4 feet wide max so you can reach the center from either side without stepping on soil.
