Hello! We just moved to our land outside of Show Low Arizona. We have 6” of sand on top of clay on top of caliche. I’m open to any and all suggestions. I’ve always been no till but I’m wondering if there is any wisdom in tilling the sand and clay together and then amending the heck out of it? Or just build raised beds and bring in some soil?

I have often wondered this same question. I think the humidity needs could be different for cheeses and vegetables but I’m not sure. Anyone on here have experience building a root cellar in Northern Arizona?
