Do you need planters?

Hand-picked for this exact result — no generic lists.

Plant it like a nursery pro.

Area-based estimate — circle packing is slightly less efficient, so this is the generous end.

  1. Don't cheat the spacing.

    Crowded pots look lush for a month, then stall.

  2. Mind the depth.

    Root veg and tomatoes need 30 cm+ of soil depth, not just width.

  3. Drainage always.

    No holes, no plant — drill them if you must.

  4. Feed potted plants.

    Pots leach nutrients fast; feed through the season.

Worked example

One concrete case, with the assumptions spelled out.

30 cm pot of herbs

707 cm² ÷ 225 cm² gives 3 herb plants at 15 cm spacing.

ƒ(x)plants = floor(π × (d÷2)² ÷ spacing²)
