How many plants fit?
Cramming plants in feels productive but backfires - crowded crops compete, stay small and get disease. Enter your bed size and crop, and we'll tell you how many plants to grow and the spacing that actually gives you a harvest.
Spacing is a guide, not a rule - it depends on your variety, soil and whether you feed and water well. If in doubt, err on the side of more room: a few strong plants beat a crowd of weak ones. Climbing crops use vertical space, so grow more than the flat numbers suggest.
