How this is calculated

Count on each axis = floor((length − 2 × border) ÷ spacing) + 1. The fitted grid is centered.

YOUR PLAN / LIVE RESULT

Plants in your grid

Schematic grid · up to 200 plants drawn

Plants along length: 8
Rows across width: 4
Length border clearance: 15 cm
Width border clearance: 15 cm

This is an aligned grid, not a staggered layout. Choose spacing for your crop and variety; paths and companion planting are not modeled. The preview limits drawn points while preserving the full count.
