Forum:NEI doesn't help

I downloaded the mod, excited about all the new agricultural features and as recomended got NEI for all the recipes but it only covers about 30% of the material, I built a drying rack and now how the fuck do I use it??? I thought this wiki would be helpful but all that's posted is random facts about the fruit that are easy to use and are accompanied by a fact-file and some shit about cogs, this mod is cool but withought any help it's just a slow march through a shit-field!!
