The Garden Planner includes a selection of container icons to help you plan your garden.

Tap on the Garden Objects selector.

Scroll down the list, or type 'container' in the search box. Tap on a plant once to select it, then tap on your plan to place it. The container can be resized using its corner 'handles'.

When growing in pots, typically you'll be able to use closer spacings than those recommended in the Garden Planner.

The default spacings can be edited by first double-tapping on the plant in your plan, or tap on it once then tap on the Edit Item button on the toolbar below your plan.

Select your variety from the Variety drop-down menu if necessary, then tap on Customize Varieties.

Tap Edit, then select the 'Use Custom Spacings' box. Enter the spacings you wish to use. The 'between plants' value is used for individual plants or blocks of plants, and the 'between plants in rows' + 'between rows' values are required for plants in rows.

Tap Done when finished, then scroll down and tap Save All Changes.

Once back on the Edit Plant window, tap Done to close.
