Short, practical explanations to use alongside your plan.

A FEW NOTES BEFORE YOU GROW

Good plans start with good questions.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Ground-connected bed or elevated planter? Know what you’re filling before you choose the mix.

MEASURE & FILL

Compare 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches of fill, then turn cubic feet into whole bags. Use actual inside dimensions for your own bed.

BUY & COMPARE

The cheapest unit price may not make the cheapest order. Include whole bags, delivery fees and the supplier’s minimum.

SPACE & PLANT

Use final plant spacing, row spacing and a stated edge margin to count planting positions in a rectangular bed.
