I am more interested in hydroponics (for now) but every time I come to Permies, I keep expecting to see a forum in the Growies section called hydroponics, but I never see it. (hint hint).  AP is the closest there is.  I am looking for information about plants, specificially veggies and non-tree and non-bush fruits, fruiting plants that can be grown from seed and harvest in a year or two.  I am looking for tabuler information that includes: ideal growing temperature, preferred ph, maximum height, minerals needed, seeding practices, etc  I hope this will be tabular - listed in a table - and not buried in paragraphs that I have to read through.  Published in paper or online, both are OK.  Any ideas?

Hydroponics is for the main a chemical based system and input intensive.  Aquaponics is a balanced system that can be a closed loop and hence more in keeping with the permaculture philosophy or reducing carbon and improving your bit of this sphere we inhabit.

Yeah, I think most of our community is looking for simpler ways to interact with nature.  Hydroponics (and aquaponics outside of a pond) seem to me to be more complicated and like we're controlling nature.  I'm sure there are people into that but I'm guessing that's why more people here like to talk about growing in the ground...
