Row Spacing Planner
A vegetable plot is not a rectangle you fill; it is beds you can reach into, separated by paths you can work from. Give this the outside dimensions of your plot and it works out how many beds fit, how…
Tool Category Garden & Outdoor
Garden and outdoor planning calculators: how much seed, turf, soil, mulch and compost a bed or border needs, how many plants fit at a given spacing, how much irrigation your borders actually draw, and what fences, paths and patios add up to. Garden and Outdoor Calculators.
Plant Spacing Calculator
Seed packets give you a spacing figure and leave you to do the geography. This turns a bed measurement into a plant count: how many go along the row, how many rows fit across, and what that leaves you with…
Planter Volume Calculator
A container’s stated size is its outside volume, and the compost goes in less than all of it. There is a drainage layer at the bottom, there is a gap at the top for watering, and the roots want the…
Raised Bed Soil Calculator
A 2.4 by 1.2 metre bed filled to forty-five centimetres holds just under one and a half cubic metres of soil, which is around two tonnes, and three of them is nearly four cubic metres and five and a half…

Fertilizer Calculator
Fertiliser is sold by weight and recommended by area, and those two numbers never meet on the pack: the back of the bag tells you grams per square metre, and nowhere does it tell you how many bags are in…

Sod Roll Calculator
Turf is a perishable product with a delivery window. Order too little and the job stops; order too much and you are shifting a pallet of rotting grass within four days. This draws the lawn, converts the area into the…
Lawn Area Calculator
A lawn is quoted by the square metre and bought by the roll, the bag or the pallet, and both ends of that transaction go wrong when the area is wrong. This draws the lawn as you describe it, takes…
