Coverage and gaps
What GrowingHQ holds, what it does not, and what it is deliberately withholding. Published because a reader who can see the gaps can trust the rest.

Images
There are none. That is a decision rather than an oversight.
GrowingHQ has declared 149 image slots across the site and filled 0. Each empty slot carries the alt text already written, which doubles as the brief the eventual photograph has to satisfy — so a reader gets the useful half of the image as a description, and adding an asset later is filling a declared slot rather than retrofitting an image model onto a thousand pages.
Sourcing correctly identified, correctly licensed horticultural photography at catalogue scale is a project of its own. Nothing here is hotlinked, and nothing unlicensed will be used.
How well each growing method is covered
A method with few assessments is not a method GrowingHQ thinks is bad. It is one nobody has published enough serious guidance on for us to assess crop by crop.

Areas modelled but not populated
GrowingHQ is built to cover far more than vegetables and herbs. These are the areas the schema already handles and the catalogue does not yet contain.
- HouseplantsThe indoor light model and the system registry already handle these; what is missing is records. Houseplants also need a humidity and light model finer than the outdoor four-point scale.
- Ornamentals, trees and shrubsThe perennial lifecycle, pruning and training structures built for fruit in Sprint 2 transfer directly. What is missing is records and a model for ornamental value — flowering period, foliage interest, wildlife value.
- Cultivars outside fruitEighty fruit cultivars now carry season, use, keeping quality, plant behaviour and disease resistance. Vegetable cultivars are absent and are a different proposition: the differences that matter are mostly season and bolting resistance rather than pollination, and the naming is far less stable between suppliers.
- Soil nutrients and compostingSoil texture, pH, drainage, moisture, organic matter and structure are modelled, and every plant can be assessed against every soil. What is absent is nutrients — deliberately, because NPK is a laboratory measurement that varies across a single garden and a figure attached to a soil class would be fabrication. Composting is also unmodelled: it is a process rather than a soil property and needs its own entity.
- Site conditions beyond soilWet ground caused by a high water table rather than by texture is a site property, and a soil record cannot stand in for it. The same is true of frost pockets, wind exposure and rain shadow — all recorded as plant tolerances, none modelled as a property of a place.
- Propagation and pruningBoth are in the action vocabulary and appear in guidance. Neither has the technique-level detail that would make them a section of their own.
- Aquaponics and aeroponicsBoth are first-class growing systems in the model and neither carries a single per-plant assessment. Hydroponics now has 21 detailed assessments; these two need the same treatment and GrowingHQ has not yet found sources it can stand behind for either at garden scale.
- Lawns, wildlife and garden infrastructureDeliberately last in the build order. Nothing about them is modelled yet, and nothing pretends to be.
Questions people ask, and whether we answer them
A registry of search intents derived from the catalogue rather than from a keyword export. Its most useful output is the list of questions an existing page already answers — because that is what stops a second page being built to answer the same thing.
2597 intents tracked. 2539 are answered by a page that exists, 16 partly, and 1 not at all.

What is not answered, and what would answer it
- how aquaponics works Partly answered
Assess real crops in aquaponics. The method is explained; nothing in the catalogue has been assessed for it.
- how aeroponics works Partly answered
Assess real crops in aeroponics. The method is explained; nothing in the catalogue has been assessed for it.
- what can I grow in a north-facing garden Partly answered
Sprint 21 answered the vertical half of this: 'Climbers for a north-facing wall' publishes, because half the climber group tolerates the light a shaded wall gives and half does not. The whole-garden phrasing stays partial and should stay partial — a north-facing GARDEN is not one condition but several, and a collection claiming to answer it would be the shade list with a compass bearing on the front.
- what can I grow in wet soil Partly answered
The heavy clay page answers this for the commonest cause of wet ground, and the soil filter on What Can I Grow answers it from the plant side. What is still missing is the case where the wetness comes from a high water table rather than from texture — that is a site property GrowingHQ does not model, and a soil record cannot stand in for it.
- what can I grow on a windy exposed site Not answered
Exposure tolerance is recorded but rarely with a source, and Sprint 21 measured what happens when a page is built on the proxies instead: the coastal candidate's frost criterion excluded none of the thirty-four woody ornamentals in scope, so the list was drought tolerance under a wind heading. Retired rather than withheld. This intent needs a sourced exposure or salt field, not more plants.
- what to grow in a greenhouse Partly answered
The method page lists assessed crops, but the corresponding collection is withheld because nearly the whole catalogue qualifies. Needs a narrower question — which crops NEED cover rather than tolerate it.
- what to grow in a polytunnel Partly answered
The method page lists assessed crops, but the corresponding collection is withheld because nearly the whole catalogue qualifies. Needs a narrower question — which crops NEED cover rather than tolerate it.

- ferns for shade Partly answered
Retired in Sprint 21 rather than withheld — 8 of 9 ferns qualify (89%). Shade is what a fern is for, so filtering ferns by shade excludes one plant and teaches nobody anything. The distinction that does divide the group is moisture, which 'Ferns for dry shade' publishes; the general question is the hub. The hub is the canonical answer and a dedicated page should not be authored.

Lists we are not publishing yet
A structured catalogue can generate thousands of “X for Y” pages automatically. Almost all of them would be thin and near-identical, so each candidate has to clear four gates before it gets a URL.
Why this table exists
37 of 41 candidate lists currently pass. The rest are here with the gate they failed and what would unblock them — which is nearly always “author more records in this area”. That turns the search-visibility backlog into an editorial work queue rather than a reason to generate pages.

4 candidate lists withheld, of which 3 would be resolved by more records and 1 would not. None of them has a URL — an unpublishable intersection is not a page that 404s, it is a page that was never generated.
Questions we have stopped asking
The other half of the same discipline, and the half that is easy to leave out. A withheld list is waiting for data; these are lists that will never be published however much data arrives, and saying so is what stops them coming back.
Why a retirement is a finding rather than a deletion
Every entry below was measured before it was judged, and most of them failed in a way that looks identical from the outside to the ones a bigger catalogue does fix. “Fruit that crops without a partner” returned eighteen of twenty-one fruit, which reads as a catalogue too small for the filter to select within — until you narrow it to the tree fruit where pollination is actually a decision and get seven of nine, because only apple and pear need a partner. More fruit makes it worse. That is not a backlog entry, and leaving it looking like one is an invitation to weaken the gate.
| Question | Why it is retired | What answers it instead |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit that crops without a pollination partnerSprint 21 · Nearly everything the question is about qualifies, so the filter tells the reader nothing — and a bigger catalogue would not change that. | 18 of 21 fruit qualify (86%). Narrowing to the tree fruit where pollination is genuinely a decision gives 7 of 9 (78%), because only apple and pear need a partner in this catalogue — so the question is share-blocked at both scopes, and adding fruit moves it the wrong way. Self-fertility is an exception worth two sentences, not a list. | /fruit/pollination |
| Fruit for containersSprint 21 · Another question already answers this need, and two names for it is one page. | 18 of 21 fruit qualify (86%) — almost all fruit takes a pot. Re-scoped to the honest version, compact fruit assessed for containers, it returns 9 plants that overlap 'Fruit for a small garden' at a Jaccard of 0.89, above the 0.85 near-duplicate threshold. The re-scoping produced a page that already exists. | /collections/fruit-for-small-gardens |
| Vegetables for containersSprint 21 · Nearly everything the question is about qualifies, so the filter tells the reader nothing — and a bigger catalogue would not change that. | 42 of 47 vegetables qualify (89%). A container is not a filter on vegetables; depth is. Re-scoped to rooting depth, which is the constraint that actually decides whether a trough works, and published as 'Vegetables for a shallow container' at 14 of 47 (30%). | /collections/vegetables-for-shallow-pots |
| Vegetables for raised bedsSprint 21 · The list separates plants, but not along a line anybody is choosing on. | 43 of 47 vegetables qualify (92%), and the four that do not are excluded by depth rather than by the bed. A raised bed is a box of soil: it changes when you sow and how you water, and it excludes almost nothing. The useful content is the method page, which is about the structure, not a list of crops that tolerate it. | /methods/raised-bed |
| Ferns for a shady gardenSprint 21 · Nearly everything the question is about qualifies, so the filter tells the reader nothing — and a bigger catalogue would not change that. | 8 of 9 ferns qualify (89%). Shade is what a fern is for, so filtering ferns by shade excludes one plant and teaches nobody anything. The distinction that does divide the group is moisture, which 'Ferns for dry shade' publishes; the general question is the hub. | /garden/ferns |
| Ornamental grasses and sedgesSprint 21 · The group is small enough that its own hub is the better answer. | 6 of 6 qualify (100%) — the candidate names two groups and applies no criterion at all, so it is the hub with a different URL. Six records is also too few for any filter within them to reach the minimum of 6, which the shade, evergreen, container and drought variants all confirmed at 2, 3, 4 and 4. | /garden/grasses |
| Plants for a windy coastal gardenSprint 21 · The title claims something the catalogue holds no field for. The honest version of this page cannot be built from the data. | 34 of 45 qualify (76%), but the more serious finding is what the filter is made of. The page claims salt-laden wind and GrowingHQ holds no salt-tolerance field; the query approximates it with frost exposure and drought, and frost exposure excludes 0 of the 34 woody ornamentals in scope. The list was being built almost entirely out of a criterion that rejects nothing, under a heading that promises the hardest filter in gardening. | Nothing — the question needs a field GrowingHQ does not hold. |
| What grows well hydroponicallySprint 21 · Another question already answers this need, and two names for it is one page. | The same reader question as 'What actually grows well without soil', asked of a weaker field: this candidate read the growing-system rating and returned 30, the surviving one reads the hydroponic verdict recorded on the plant and returns 17. They overlap at a Jaccard of 0.57, so the near-duplicate gate could not catch it — identical intentions are an editorial judgement the arithmetic cannot make. Both are withheld on data coverage, so this retires a duplicate rather than an answer. | /coverage |
| Herbs for hydroponicsSprint 22 · The list separates plants, but not along a line anybody is choosing on. | The candidate existed to record that GrowingHQ had assessed almost no herbs for soilless growing. Sprint 22 assessed 23 more, and the question dissolved rather than resolving: at the inclusive verdict it returns 26 of 33 herbs, at the strict verdict 5, and there is no threshold between them that is a page. The herb catalogue does not divide on soilless suitability — almost every herb is at least conditional — and the five genuinely well suited are already the herb half of 'What actually grows well without soil'. | /collections/crops-for-soilless-systems |
