Default ants!

This is an organic gardening question, not a pest question, which is why it's in the Gardening in the Green forum.

I didn't plant anything at one of my community garden plots over the winter, and now every time I water it's overrun with ants (I'm assuming it's because the soil got very dry). Usually I don't mind ants, but at this plot, it's impossible to plant anything or work in the garden beds without zillions of ants crawling all over. They're not fire ants, but I do get a bite now and then.

Is there a benign way to persuade the ants to go somewhere else when i want to work in the garden?
