Planning Your Vegetable Garden
A well-planned garden maximizes yield while minimizing work. Use this calculator to determine the right spacing and soil needs for your available space.
Garden Types
- In-Ground: Traditional row gardening, good for large spaces
- Raised Beds: Better drainage, earlier planting, easier access
- Containers: Perfect for patios and small spaces
Plant Spacing Basics
Proper spacing ensures plants get enough light, nutrients, and air circulation. Overcrowding leads to disease and reduced yields.
Soil Preparation
Start with a soil test. Most vegetables prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-7.0). Add compost to improve soil structure and nutrient content.
