The message
from (Brian {Hamilton Kelly}) contains these words:

You might even want to consider a charter change to the parent group, if
the subgroup IS created, which also prohibits such cross-posts.

Unworkable. Crossposting to a single other group with a common
interest is sometimes appropriate ,as in this discussion.

Something on-topic in a sub-group is rarely appropriate to the parent:
after all, the latter has cast off its off-spring to make its own way in
the world.

In this instance, the proposed topic of the subgroup IS entirely
appropriate to uk.rec.gardening, and frequently discussed here.

Uk.rec.gardening is NOT a parent group trying to cast off an unweildy
subgroup. The proposal was made by someone who is not a visible user of
uk.rec.gardening.
