Any ideas for a collective noun to describe a lot of allotmenteers?

- a bunch
- shed load???

How about:

A Drill?

or as we are very into abbreviations, how about a GOA??

Well, maybe if we choose a word and define it as a group of allotmenteers, it will make its way into the Oxford English Dictionary with that definition!

From personal experience I would have to offer "An Addiction of Allotmenteers"

But Ace's suggestions are inspired!

Equality isn't everyone being the same, equality is recognising that being different is normal.

Lovely ideas...but have to object to a 'potter' for ladies...

We can dig as well as the best of 'em, when we have to . Of course a strong spade merchant helps, but then we get left with ' I need a shower darling' ....'gin and tonic'......'supper ready then?'

Enough said?

A digging, a potter (for both sexes), a natter? Maybe a planting?
