An important tool for a successful garden or farm is to know how much you need. Also called population or stand, this number of plants in a bed or row helps understand your garden. While professional farmers already know how much they will need, those of us starting to garden or expanding our gardens often have questions about how to plant and how much seed to get. To help with that, as well as simplify calculations for our farm friends, we have this quick reference seed calculator and reference table.
