Every crop is in the square foot gardening spacing chart.
Most are 4 × 4 ft (1.2 × 1.2 m), which gives 16 squares and can be reached from every side. A 4 × 8 ft bed gives 32.
Yes. They work the same way, and the planner uses 30 cm squares when you choose metres.
Compact crops you pick over several weeks: lettuce, chard, dwarf French beans, beetroot, carrots, radishes, spring onions, herbs and cordon tomatoes. Sprawling crops such as squash and maincrop potatoes take up too many squares.
VegLog keeps every bed you plan, tells you what to sow each week for your frost dates, and keeps a record of your harvests. Free for your first growing space.
