8 ft*12 in=96 in
96/8=12
there are 12 8-inch sections
if you put one plant at each end, you need 13 plants

You would need to know the width to solve the problem "the whole way around the bed." You only provided the length.

sorry,arthur...i had a lot of homework! meant to say square..that being said,I figured that since a square has equal sides it would be 8*4...but i got lost after that with the plants 8 inches apart.

Put one plant at each corner (4 plants).
On each side you put 11 plants 8 inches apart between the corner plants (4*11=44).
44+4=48 plants
