Here is a proposal for alt.uk.allotments on 23.1.2004
This group is designed to help other allotment holders to stay in
touch across the UK for planting times, general planting methods and
ideal pest control ect..
Another very specifically british topic (for an international group.)
Uk.rec.gardening is crawling with allotment-holders, posting about
their
allotments - since you don't appear to have posted on the topic,
recommend
you try it.
"To discuss gardening questions and share tips on-
Weeds, flowers, shrubs, trees, fruit and veg., lawns, beneficial
insects and animals, pests and diseases, soils, composting, design,
location, situation, seasons/times, hard structures (paths,
greenhouses, cloches, rockeries), tools and materials."
