Why use this tool
The layout basis helps you mark real plant positions instead of dividing area by an unexplained density.
Before relying on the result
Rectangular rows only. Spacing is centre to centre; the diagram caps its displayed plants without changing totals.
Tool limitations
Rectangular rows only. Spacing is centre to centre; the diagram caps its displayed plants without changing totals.
Questions
