Work out garden harvest estimate instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Expected harvest is plants times yield per healthy plant times the share that crop well, then expressed per square metre of bed. Yield per square metre is the number that lets you compare crops, since a densely planted salad bed can out-produce a sprawling squash on the same ground.
Expected harvest
harvest kg = plants x yield per plant x success rate
Yield density
kg per m2 = harvest / bed area
harvest kg = plants x yield per plant x success rate. Expected harvest is plants times yield per healthy plant times the share that crop well, then expressed per square metre of bed.
Yield per square metre is the number that lets you compare crops, since a densely planted salad bed can out-produce a sprawling squash on the same ground.
Enter number of plants, yield per healthy plant, share of plants that crop well, bed area. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
