Right there, as you realise, you're looking the right place. You're
trying to create a form, so should never have to look further than form
fields and widgets.
What you want to do here is, given the particular field of the model,
replace its default form field with you own version that uses the
Textarea widget. This means using the formfield_callback parameter to
form_for_model(). That is given each model field in turn and should
return a form field instance. You need to be able to handle *every*
field in your model, so start with something that operates like the
default (see newforms/models.py) and extend it.
Basically, the form field you want to return is probably something like
forms.CharField(...., widget=Textarea(rows=4, cols=40))
