Why Seed Spacing Matters

Correct spacing makes all the difference between a thriving harvest and a failed crop. With the right plant distance, you’ll:

  • Reduce overcrowding and lower the risk of disease
  • Improve airflow and light exposure
  • Promote strong root systems and healthy growth
  • Limit competition for moisture and nutrients

Our calculator includes spacing guidelines for 35+ vegetables—from beetroot and broccoli to courgettes and chard. Each crop has different needs, and this tool adjusts automatically based on your chosen variety.

  • Select your vegetable from the dropdown list
  • Click "Calculate"
  • View your results: total seeds needed, row spacing, thinning advice

You’ll also get a direct link to purchase that seed variety right from our catalogue.
