Hi whereami,
Looking through the site, I would suggest maybe the Permaculture OR Vegetables and Fruit forum (I have not reviewed the threads but hopefully that would be more in line with your ideas?)
I have been on the site for a month or so and found that most of the conversations go pretty well based on the subject matter (and then again some go way of subject) - kind of like life :(
Anyway, I hope that you can find yourself here, being on the site, researching and giving advice.
