Perhaps all that is needed here is to do likewise - the subject could
be [allotment] to distinguish it from an ornamental [garden] query or
[houseplants] query or [trees] etc.

And how the heck do we get that to stick, since people no longer lurk
before posting?

It does not matter whether the problem is handled this way or not. I find
it quite straightforward to know which threads not to read. In ninety
percent of the cases, the subject line gives all the clues I need, and in
the rest of the cases, just looking at the first contribution to a thread
tells me whether there is something in it for me.
