Hmm, I've never seen that sort of a problem with community gardens anywhere. The vast majority of the people work pretty hard on their plots.
From my window where I'm typing this, I can see (or could see if it were light out) one of Adams Morgans' once-lauded "community gardens." It might have been a big deal in the 1970s, but now it's just a rocky slope with a few scraggly corn stalks growing on it. I've never seen a gardener actually garden there in the seven years I've lived in the neighborhood.
Sounds like you live in one of those neighborhoods which underwent gentrification, or otherwise got yuppiefied, and the new residents are of the sort who don't get their hands dirty, eh? Or at least not with real dirt. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com
