Convert bed spacing into density per square foot and meter.
Density divides a square foot of bed by the area each plant occupies, then scales it to metric. Density figures translate between systems and let growers compare bite-sized beds with field-scale plantings.
Planting Density
Density = 12 x 12 / (row x plant spacing); per m2 = per sq ft x 10.764
