Methods & sources

Little Plot Works helps home vegetable gardeners work out what fits in a rectangular bed, where plants can go, and how much soil to prepare. The bed planner, spacing calculator, and soil calculator share calculation rules so the same inputs lead to the same quantities.

A deliberately small resource

The site focuses on measured layouts, visible assumptions, and useful references. It does not provide climate scheduling, pest diagnosis, yield forecasts, or individual professional advice. There are no accounts, subscriptions, or products for sale.

Where the guidance comes from

Crop presets cite published university Extension resources. The tools distinguish those horticultural starting points from mathematical calculations. Source attribution does not imply endorsement, and no affiliation with the cited institutions is claimed.

The site does not claim professional horticultural certification or field testing of every crop arrangement. Read the methods and sources before relying on a result.

Corrections matter

Questions about the site and reports of errors can be sent to [email protected]. A useful report includes the tool, inputs, units, expected result, and the result shown. See the reporting checklist.
