#### Community gardens or private gardens?

I've been really saddened to see what has happened to the community gardens now that herbs are worth a lot. It seems greed has taken over the spirit of sharing and community... something I had hoped would not happen in Glitch.
I used to go to the gardens, clear away any dirty plots and plant them. I'd then pick whatever was ready, shuck a few and replant those as well.
Now everyone is guarding 'their plots' and 'their herbs.'
May I suggest that if you want to have a private garden that you buy a house and do it there? Please support the community spirit of glitch, and share and support each other.

- I used to randomly plant in the community gardens but these days its just feeding the haters. The reason people sit there guarding "thier" plots is because they have been forced to by the greedy community garden raiders who come through and systematically remove every herb in the place and never replant them.
  They sit there guarding what they have planted because otherwise the only people who end up getting anything from the community herb gardens are the raiders who regularly plunder everything that isn't nailed down. You see it on the private housing streets and in the hidden sharing places as well.
  A dozen good natured glitches use the area properly giving and taking stuff in balance. Actually usually giving more than taking. Then one thief discovers the spot, comes back with an entire inventory of empty bags and loots everything. The raider will then keep coming back regularly to take everything until the spot is no longer used for sharing. It only takes on imoral person to ruin it for the rest when it comes ot things like this.

- "Guarding" a community garden plot does not make it yours.
  I no longer see the 'raiding' behavior in the community gardens I plant in. I wonder why?

- The other day I had transported to shimla marsh herb garden just to do a walkby, and was standing in the spot i arrived in for maybe 10 seconds while i ate something. it so happened to be in front of someone who was waiting for "their" herbs, and i was told "hey dont pick these they are MY herbs." I was curious, so i looked at the players information, she had a bog house 1 STREET OVER!
  so i said "so you have your own herb garden, but you want to hoard these plots too? thats cool." i dont understand why people are being so greedy over these herbs! i myself have quit the rat race, its not worth going into an herb garden and everyone is arguing, it ruins the game for me.

- I am curious as well Kaybelikemaybe. If one has a bog house.. hence a herb garden, why the hell are they using the community gardens and hoarding plots that could be used by others that don't have the use of a bog house?

- well, I just moved to a bog house, but I still carry spare seeds with me to plant in the community gardens when I pop by on a barnacle run. But I generally plant, guano, and abandon to fate :)

- It seems that Glitch is a microcosm and what happens "out there" happens here. I have witnessed Glitches taking and not replanting in the gardens AND others breezing through to plant and leaving so that others can harvest. it might balance out one day maybe....
  I would like to own 2 homes and have the option of using them for different activities. Container gardening sounds great too. I would love to have a terrarium...

- Herbs don't figure in my game and I'm quite happy waiting until housing is sorted out. But I will raid community herb gardens with the few seeds I get from the AL.
  Run in, water plots, plant & guano any seeds, chuck a few RKs at waiting glitchen to distract them, then run away before anyone catches me. Muahaahaa...
