Container planner

Soil volume for a container, grow bag, or raised bed. Minimum pot size stays blank until a source is stored. Overcrowding uses stored spacing only.

Crop figures are cited from public agriculture pages, including the Department of Agriculture Sri Lanka.

Methodology

Where does the soil volume come from?
Length times width times depth, converted to litres. You can replace that with a volume you already know. Neither number is a crop fact. A bed larger than 50 square metres is rejected so it can be split.
What is the minimum container check?
Pass or fail only when a minimum volume or depth is stored for that crop. Every crop in the current data has those fields empty, so the check says data coming soon. Depth below a stored minimum is a hard fail when a minimum exists.
When is a bed overcrowded?
Each plant footprint is the stored in-row spacing times the stored between-row spacing. If those footprints add up to more than the bed, the page warns. If any chosen crop has no spacing, the page does not call the bed clear.
