I was adding a small scale hydroponics farm. I got caught up in doubts about how to best tag it. The place is not bigger than a house and its features made me second guess tagging it as landuse=farmland.

Some examples found on the DB are:

Looking for hydroponic on the wiki returns no results.

I have even considered landuse=farmyard and landuse=industrial owing to their indoors nature.
A new key, hydroponic=yes/no/only, could be useful. I’ve tried using taginfo to fish for usage precedents. It looks like it hasn’t been used yet.

Please share your experience and thoughts. Thank you.

Probably more likely to be a tag on a landuse=greenhouse_horticulture area or a subtag of a greenhouse?

There’s an existing irrigation key that might be suitable with a new value.

You need to consider aquaponics, fogponics, and aeroponics together.
Not sure vertical farming or all hydroponics is “greenhouse”. I like the idea of using irrigation. This can cover drip and mist irrigation.
