Yes. The planner lets you create, rename, duplicate, switch between, and delete multiple beds in the same browser, so you can plan a whole yard one bed at a time.

Keep width at or under 4 feet so you can reach the center without stepping in. The most popular size is 4x8 ft (32 sq ft), which Mel Bartholomew recommends as a starter size in Square Foot Gardening. For tight spaces, a 4x4 (16 sq ft) works well. Add length, not width, as you expand.

Square-foot gardening divides a raised bed into 12-inch cells. Each cell holds a specific number of plants based on mature spacing - 16 radishes in one cell, 1 tomato across a 2x2 block. The method was developed by Mel Bartholomew and eliminates traditional row spacing, reducing water use and weeding.

Yes. Every plant in the database carries companion and antagonist lists sourced from extension-style references. The planner flags conflict risks on the canvas, and the AI layout generator is instructed to keep incompatible plants separated.

You can print a take-outside garden sheet, export the current bed as JSON, export all beds, share the current bed, and use the recap page for plant shopping and raised-bed materials.
