Optimal Spacing Guidelines
Proper plant spacing is crucial for healthy garden growth. Our calculator uses these horticultural principles:
- Air Circulation: Prevents fungal diseases and promotes strong stems
- Root Development: Provides space for healthy root systems
- Sunlight Exposure: Ensures adequate light penetration to all leaves
- Maintenance Access: Allows space for watering, weeding, and harvesting
For best results, measure plants at their mature width and consider their growth habit (bushy vs climbing).
