Plant Spacing In a Square Foot Garden

Plants are basically grown closer together in a square foot garden. The result is less weeding, less water evaporation and more yield per area.  Their mature size determines plant spacing in a square foot garden.

• Small Plants:  16 plants per square [4 x 4]
• Medium Plants:  9 plants per square [3 x 3]
• Large Plants:  4 plants per square [2 x 2]
• Extra Large Plants:  1 plant per square
• Periodically plants need more than one square.

Here are the plants we are interested in and their spacing.
