years our garden tried both but we gave up and have either used bricks
or slate stones on pathways.

What a community garden can do is show that a full democracy can work

Poor design can create a shaded area that is dark and uninviting.

Communal property is a tough notion. Our previous mayor, Giuliani, had
a real problem with gardens mainly because he couldn't see beyond
private ownership, a community run garden of volunteers really
disturbed him.

Bats and birds and fish are fun solutions but not always dependable

It's an interesting question. I am only guessing that a plastic
designed to house acidic food stuffs would be more resistant to
leaching but for how long?
In our garden we are more worried about the rainwater itself as it
carries city soot and other unknown pollutants. A rain barrel can
15 years. I suggest contacting a local food
warehouse or supermarket that might have a few leftover barrels.
Barrels like these tend to get re-used so it might be hard to find some.
