Garden Plan Tools is designed around distinct user problems, not keyword substitutions. A page should answer a different decision or add crop-specific context that a general calculator cannot provide.
Shared calculations
Numerical examples are generated from the same formulas and crop data used by the calculators where practical. A 4×8 bed at 24-inch square-grid spacing, for example, is 4 positions along the 8-foot side × 2 across the 4-foot side = 8 positions.
Theoretical count vs practical layout
Geometry is labeled as a theoretical or simplified layout. Mature crop habit, traditional row spacing, support, paths, airflow and harvesting access can reduce the sensible count.
Content uniqueness
Calculator pages explain their own formula, units and worked example. Crop guides use crop-specific data. Long-tail articles begin with a direct answer to the exact question and link to the relevant tool. Repetitive production headings and internal SEO tags are not published.
Plant-problem standards
Symptoms are treated as clues rather than certain diagnoses. Guides emphasize observation and do not publish hazardous pesticide-mixing recipes.
Corrections
When an error is reported, we test whether it comes from a shared formula/data source and correct dependent content. Contact us with the page URL, tool inputs and observed result when possible.
