FAQ

Does this use a grid or triangle spacing?

It assumes a square grid. Triangle (offset) spacing fits about 15% more — add that mentally for dense beds.

What if my spacing is in centimetres?

Convert to inches (1 in ≈ 2.54 cm); the input is in inches for standard gardening guides.

Should I buy spares?

Yes — a few spares cover losses from transplant shock or pests.
