Hey Karen, Thanks for your encouragement, I am starting a garden in Peoples Valley, I am on top of a hill with the same soil condition as you. I am thinking of raised beds and a green house. Raised beds for grapes, & berries green house for salads and vegs. How deep do my raised beds have to be? I am afraid of doing all this work, just to find out my plants will have root damage from poor draiange and not produce. Any ideas on what kind of greenhouse will stand up to very high winds and Az Sun? Do I mix "our" dirt with 50% compost two feet deep then add a raised bed another 18"-2' above that with the same mix? Help
