Re: [Tagging] Vertical farming

Let me clarify. Although vegetative material is being grown, this is not farmland in the usual sense of that word and is not located outdoors; it is grown inside a building. Nor is anything being "manufactured" so IMO neither landuse=industrial nor product applies. The marijuana is grown, the flow

Hello all, regarding vertical plants, some examples against air pollution came to my mind. it's not really "farming", but at least an "artificial" way to grow plants, so it doesn't really fit with "natural" http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:natural Do you think this should be considered ? I

No, this is actually closer to indoor farming. Shelves hold the plants which are fed nutrients hydroponically, and these shelves may be stacked one atop the other. Hence the term "vertical gardening". Everything is controlled artificially, even the content of the atmosphere. And it does not take

How about this then for the basic tagging? building=commercial building:use=agriculture (1744 uses) farming:system=vertical_farming (0 uses) produce=marijuana The reason I added shop=no is so that this type of facility doesn't get mixed up with places that sell marijuana. It is perhaps unnecessar

I agree about the tag water=pool. Potentially very misleading. Stream_pool seems okay, or perhaps waterway_pool to avoid a possible semantic conflict when applying the tag to rivers. Are there plans to add "riffles" as well? A riffle is, in American English at least, a fisherman's term for a shall

The “direction” tag [1] has different uses that seem disjoint to me. To specify the orientation (compass point or degrees from north) of an object (adit or cave entrance, etc.). To specify direction (clockwise/counterclockwise) around a roundabout (not sure why this is needed as it should be app
