Seed Calculator

Find the exact number of seeds to buy and plant — no more guessing at the garden center.

Picking a crop fills in typical values — overwrite any of them with the numbers on your seed packet.

How It Works

  1. Calculates total bed area in square feet or meters
  2. Determines number of rows from row spacing
  3. Calculates plants per row from plant spacing
  4. Adjusts for germination rate and seeds per hole

Tips for Success

  • Check seed packets for recommended spacing
  • Account for mature plant size, not seedling size
  • Older seed batches germinate at lower rates
  • Add extra seeds if you're succession planting
