Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1Soil volume = Length × Width × Depth (m³)
  2. 2Bulb spacing: (Area width / spacing) × (Area length / spacing)
  3. 3Water needs: 20–25mm per week for most vegetables in dry weather
  4. 4Fertiliser: follow N-P-K label rates in g/m²

Worked Examples

Input
3m × 2m bed, 0.25m deep
Result
