Vegetable Yield Calculator
Estimate vegetable garden yield based on bed area and vegetable type using standard yield-per-square-foot data.
Formula
Yield (lbs) = Area (sq ft) × yield per sq ft by vegetable type
- Yield estimates are based on intensive/raised bed gardening practices.
- Actual yield depends on soil quality, watering, sunlight, and variety.
- Gardening in rows (not raised beds) yields about 50% of these estimates.
100 sq ft tomato bed
Inputs
- Garden Bed Area: 100 sq ft
- Vegetable Type: tomatoes
100 × 0.5 = 50 lbs expected yield (range: 35–65 lbs).
Frequently asked questions
Are these yields for raised beds?
Yes. Intensive raised bed methods typically yield 2–4× more than traditional row gardening.
How can I improve yield?
Good soil, consistent watering, companion planting, and appropriate fertilization all significantly boost yields.
