Terms of Use

GardenPlanKit provides free planning tools and general educational information for home gardens. By using the tools, you remain responsible for selecting and checking the inputs, materials and growing methods appropriate to your situation.

Planning estimates

Calculator results describe mathematical models. Irregular beds, tapered containers, compaction, settling, material variation, label conventions and supplier order terms can change the amount you need. Confirm dimensions and units before purchasing. The site does not guarantee crop performance, yield, savings or suitability for a particular garden.

Local context

Plant spacing, growing media and planting dates depend on the crop, variety, support method, site and local conditions. Read the linked original source and relevant local guidance. A grid drawing is not a universal planting prescription.

Using our resources

You may use, save and print the planning tools and worksheets for your own garden. Link to a page when sharing a method. Source publications remain the property of their respective publishers; references do not imply their endorsement of this website.

Reasonable use

Do not misuse the contact form, attempt to disrupt the website or send unlawful material. We may limit abusive requests to keep the tools available.

Availability and corrections

The site may change or be temporarily unavailable during maintenance. We make reasonable efforts to check content, but errors are possible. Report an issue through Contact & corrections. These terms do not remove rights that applicable law gives you.
