(Following our recent story about the number of garden plots setting a record at this year's Decorah Community Garden, decorahnews.com reader Stan sent this suggestion):
"In reading the article on increased use of garden plots I think it is great that so many people are utilizing this benefit the city has offered. But (and there is always a but involved) I look at all the different fencing around the individual gardens and can't help but wonder why the gardeners don't cooperate and just fence around the entire garden area. Seems like an easy solution to a problem that affects all the gardeners. In the long run it would appear to use less fencing."
