How many tomato plants actually fit in a two metre bed? Have you sown a full packet of seed and then had nowhere to put the seedlings? Does everything end up crammed at one end while the other sits empty?
The Raised Bed Layout Planner on EizTools does the arithmetic. Give it your bed dimensions and what you want to grow, and it returns a planting layout with spacings and a succession plan.
Short answer: The Raised Bed Layout Planner is a free AI tool that works out what fits in a raised bed. Give the dimensions and your crops, set the format and detail level, then generate a planting layout.
What is Raised Bed Layout Planner?
It is a free planning tool for the space inside a bed. You give the measurements and the crop list, and the Raised Bed Layout Planner writes out where things go, how many fit and what follows what. No account, no limit, and it takes less time than sketching it on paper.
How Does Raised Bed Layout Planner Work?
Put the numbers in the prompt box. Length, width and depth, how many beds, which way they run, how much sun they get, and every crop you want to grow. Rough dimensions produce rough layouts, so measure first.
- Pick a model from the selector above the generate button.
- Open the advanced options and set Format to Table, which suits a layout better than prose.
- Set Timeframe to Year if you want succession planting included.
- Generate, then read the layout in the output card with its word count.
- Download it as HTML or Word to print and take outside.
Earlier attempts stay listed under the result card, so a layout with three crops and one with six can be compared before you sow anything.
Working Out What Fits In A Bed
Spacing is where most bed plans fail, in both directions. Crammed beds give small crops and disease, and over spaced beds waste half the growing area you built.
| Factor | Why it changes the layout |
|---|---|
| Crop spacing | Decides how many plants fit, and it varies enormously by crop |
| Height and shade | Tall crops go north of shorter ones, or they shade them out |
| Reach | You need to reach the middle without standing on the soil |
| Succession | Early crops clear space that a later sowing can use |
Ask for succession explicitly in the prompt. It is the difference between one harvest and two from the same square metre.
Format As A Table
The accordion here is the common planning one, not a bespoke set, and Format matters more here than usual.
- Table gives a bed by bed, row by row layout you can read outside
- Timeline gives the sowing and planting order across the season
- Structured Sections splits multiple beds into separate plans
- Include Notes adds spacing reasoning and the crops that will not follow each other
Tip Give the bed width in centimetres or inches, not "standard". A 120 centimetre bed and a 90 centimetre bed hold quite different amounts, and the planner has no way to guess which you built.
What it saves
- Sowing more than you have room to plant out
- Working out spacing crop by crop from seed packets
- Planning succession so beds are not empty in August
- Arranging several beds so nothing shades anything
Still yours to judge
- Local sowing dates, which vary by region
- What your soil actually supports
- Rotation across years, if you keep to one
- Measuring the bed accurately in the first place
The EizTools tools are open to anyone, free, with no sign up and nothing counted in the background as you use them. A model selector sits on every page, so a layout that comes back too cautious can be rerun through a different engine, and each tool carries options tuned for its own job rather than one shared panel. Other free tools for the growing year are in the tools directory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Raised Bed Layout Planner free?
Yes, and you can use it as often as you like, so you can replan each bed every spring without paying anything.
Does it use square foot gardening spacing?
Ask for it in the prompt if that is the method you follow. Otherwise it uses conventional spacings, which are wider for most crops.
Can it plan several beds at once?
Yes. Give the dimensions of each and set Format to Structured Sections, so each bed gets its own layout rather than one merged plan.
Will it include sowing dates?
Only if you name your region or climate zone in the prompt. Sowing dates are entirely local and a generic calendar is worse than none.
Does it handle crop rotation?
Say what grew in each bed last year and ask for rotation. Without that history it plans for this season only.
A raised bed is a fixed amount of space that always feels bigger in March than it does in June. Doing the arithmetic before the seeds arrive is what stops the annual overcrowding.
Measure your beds, put the numbers in the box above, and sow to the layout rather than to the seed packet.
