Your bed — blank 4′ × 8′ grid
Spacing quick reference (square-foot gardening): tomato 1 per sq ft (staked) · lettuce 4 per sq ft · carrot 16 per sq ft · bush bean 9 per sq ft · zucchini 1 per sq ft.
Print tip: fits one letter page. General guidance — adjust spacing to the varieties you grow.
How to use the layout grid
- Measure your raised bed in feet — most prefab beds are 4′ × 8′, which is what both templates show.
- Treat each square as one square foot. Tall crops (tomatoes, corn) go on the north edge so they don’t shade neighbors.
- Write crop initials in each square; the ×number tells you how many plants fit per square.
- Keep a copy each season and rotate plant families between beds to reduce soil-borne problems.
