   Can you use your calculator for garden containers – ie. I tried it with 1.5 ft. square container of surface with 1″ between plants just for fun – and received a horrendous result – does it really work or did I mis-read.

   Hi Marion
   The garden calculator can be used in square garden containers, the problem was that you only allowed 1″ between plants-whereas most annuals need at least 6″ between plants so that they can spread out. So for example if your container is 1.5square ft. and you entered 6″ between plants then the result would be 6 plants. The distance between plants should be entered according to the type of plant you are planting – some have more extensive root system and therefore need more room to grow.
