"I recomend partialy rasied beds filled with compost mixed with soil 50/50. This can be done on the cheep using 6" fence boards $2ea. If you use fresh horse dung keep moist and wait 3 weeks before planting."

"I will be there. I have 3 extra iron rakes that I can donate. Should I bring a pick-up load of compost. I can get some cheap."

Thank you so much for the advice. I even have the boards. The biggest issue is just how little soil is left once the rocks have been removed. I am going to get massive amounts of compost and horse manure which I have found on Craigs list and let it stew for awhile. I will have to dig atleast 2 - 3 feet to get under the caliche to provide enough drainage. Going to see how we can do that with some kind of machine...maybe a hole digger or small bob cat.
Thanks again for your advice. Ellen
