What you are talking about is a newbie / experianced urgler split
rather than an allotment / garden split tho. And i dont think having a
newbie group would work - no-one would know anything!
I am a newbie and i think a separate group is not a good idea. I have
been doing lots of mining and searching of urg via google over the
last few weeks. I have gone in searching for a query about the garden
and coming out with vast amounts of info i can put to use down my
allotment. And visa versa. Which is great! If you split the groups i
would have to search in two separate places. Making my life more
difficult.

exactly my thoughts on the subject.
