Row Length
Convert garden area and row spacing into row feet.
About Row Length
Dividing an area by the width of a row (converted to feet) tells you how many feet of row that area supports. Seed rates and harvest expectations are often quoted per row foot, so converting your plot expresses it in the language of the seed packet.
Formula
Row Length
Row feet = area ÷ (row spacing ÷ 12)
- row feet
- Total length of planted rows

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 1 decimal place, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
