Square Foot Gardening Plant Spacing

To calculate how many plants per square, look on the back of the seed packet–totally ignore the row spacing, just look at the plant spacing:

• 12″ apart, plant 1 per square
• 6″ apart, plant 4 per square
• 4″ apart, plant 9 per square
• 3″ apart (or less), plant 16 per square
