New idea to me - but makes sense for people struggling to cope with a
plot.

Anyone use this scheme/have used it/heard of anyone using it?

Not quite, but I have shared a communal organic veg plot; two other
couples and us. The communal effort lasted one year (though one person
still does it by himself).
Many years previously I'd had my own successful allotment and IME plot
share is very different. It's like gardening by committee where every
minorly different POV/agenda has to be discussed and compromised; even
stuff like if and when to water. There are inevitable differences of
energy, strength, stamina, tastes in food, experience, and in particular;
"degrees of organicness".
