Calculate Square Feet of Planting Bed
Squares and Rectangles: Area = length x width
Circles: Area = 3.14 x radius squared
Example: A 10-foot circle has a radius of 5 feet
(5 feet squared is 25). Area = 25 x 3.14 = 78.5 sq. ft.
Circles: Area = 3.14 x radius squared
Example: A 10-foot circle has a radius of 5 feet
(5 feet squared is 25). Area = 25 x 3.14 = 78.5 sq. ft.
Use this table to calculate an accurate total needed for planting beds.
Number of Plants = Square foot x Spacing multiplier
Example: 200 sq. ft. bed planting on 15” centers = 200 x 0.65 = 128 plants
