Row Plantings

You can control the length, position, and duplicate planting rows using the planting row handles.

These let you:


Moving and Adjusting Rows

You can move rows by dragging them.

They can be resized or adjusted using the yellow or blue handles at the ends of the row

Rows with yellow handles will extend to the edge of the bed or up to another planting row.

Rows with blue handles have a fixed length as you move them arround.

Double Tapping on a row will change it from auto-length (yellow handles) to fixed-length (blue handles) and vice versa.


Extending / Duplicating Rows

The middle row handle lets you quickly create multiple rows. Drag this handle out in any direction to make multiple copies of a row.

Rows will be automatically spaced to match the required spacing for the plant.


Square Foot Gardening Plantings

Plants added to Square Foot Gardening (SFG) beds will fit to the SFG squares of the bed. You can move planting blocks between squares or to different beds and duplicate them using the planting handles.

Extending / Duplicating SFG Planting Squares
