Conflicts that VegPlotter will warn you about include: SFG beds continue to display planting conflicts when you drag on a plant or extend out your planting blocks in the bed. You can extend out the planting by pulling out the yellow handles when the bed is selected Or in rows of blocks where it is useful for plants that need to grow up a structure along one side of your bed (like beans). Once you've added a plant to your SFG bed and adjusted the planting schedules and variety etc, you can extend it out to fill the entire bed or create a row or small collection of blocks with the same planting type.Įxtending the planting out is useful for plants that grow well in a block, like Sweetcorn, that need to be close together to pollinate each other. Have a look in the right-hand menu when the planting block is selected. Adjust these in the planting details menu. Adjust the variety, planting schedule or number of plants per squareĪs row-based plantings, you can enter a variety and adjust the Sow, Plant Out and Harvest dates and change the number of plants per square. If a plant needs more that one square, for example, Pumpkins, VegPlotter will draw the planting over multiple squares to account for the plant's extra space. You'll notice that VegPlotter lets you know exactly how many plants you can plant in that 1-foot square and draws the planting icons in the optimal orientation.

Once you have selected the 1-foot square, unclick or lift your finger to stop the drag and VegPlotter will save the planting in that location. Left-click drag (or drag with your finger on mobile) the plant icon from the right-hand planting menu.Īs soon as you have dragged the plant icon over an SFG bed, VegPlotter will show you the plants in the closest square. You add plants to your SFG beds on your garden plan in the same way you do for the standard row type beds. You can also add exact measurements in the right-hand menu rather than dragging to resize the beds. You will notice that they include a white 1-foot grid to show how many squares the bed has.Īs with all beds and structures in VegPlotter, you can rotate and move your beds into position. Square Foot Garden beds extend out in 1-foot increments. A new SFG garden bed option is available from the Add Beds menu. You can add Square Foot Gardening (SFG) beds to your VegPlotter garden plans.
