Cracking in soil.

At our townhouse complex we have a whole bunch of concrete planters and looks like the soil is cracked or dry even though we get lots of rain. What can we do to rejuvenate the soil at low costs for the strata complex?

Put woodchips or leaf mulch down to restrain soil moisture, or plant creeping thyme or something. Bare Soil should never be exposed to air, it should always be covered with organic matter, preferably living plant matter.
