Garden paths use space that cannot also be counted as planted bed area.

Enter the garden rectangle, bed width and path width. Inspect the full parallel beds that fit across it.

## Inputs and controls

* Garden length (m). Allowed range: 0.01 to 1000
* Garden width (m). Allowed range: 0.01 to 1000
* Outside access on all edges (m). Allowed range: 0 to 100
* Bed width (m). Allowed range: 0.01 to 100
* Path between beds (m). Allowed range: 0 to 100

## How to use

* Enter garden length and garden width.

* Enter outside access on all edges, bed width and path between beds.

* Select Calculate result. Read the returned values alongside the assumptions below before copying, exporting or acting on the result.


## Why use this tool

Keeping paths visible helps compare access space with useful growing area.


## Before relying on the result

Whole parallel beds are placed across the width. A rotated or mixed arrangement is not optimised.


## Tool limitations

Whole parallel beds are placed across the width. A rotated or mixed arrangement is not optimised.

## Questions

### Will it optimise mixed or rotated beds?

No. It fits whole parallel beds in the stated direction. Other arrangements need a separate layout.

### What should I check before using Garden Bed Layout Planner?

Check Garden length, Garden width, Outside access on all edges and Bed width. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
