I think my point was about gardening. Granted there has to be
differences from place to place and climate to climate but yet I think there
are many common gardening problems and solutions to gardening problems that
are common regardless of place and climate.

Indeed - and they're on topic here. But it's useful remembering that
this group is abut gardening in the UK because just occasionally,
someone gives advice that is very good for the US, say, but won't work
here, and if someone were to try it, they'd be very disappointed and
might even lose a loved plant. (Conversely, if someone asks a question
and doesn't make it clear that they're gardening in S africa, say, then
I may give advice which is total rubbish for them) So that's one reason
why I think it is good to make sure people know it's a UK group.

The other reason is the purely selfish one, that as I garden in the UK,
and have found this group which is supposed to be about gardening in the
UK, then I don't want to have to wade through hundreds of posts about
gardening elsewhere to find the UK ones I'm interested in.
