been in the area for over 35 years... catchment water is what you want. cheapest, easiest to accomplish. lots of dirt.... good old dirt. i have over 15 feet deep of it. most things grow, but probaby not papaya. too high elevation. but... you lucky guy can get stone fruits.. and of course citrus. we love the area because it is cool at night, plenty of water and no tsunami! check out your neighbors really well to see if that is gonna work for you. there was a guy who raised hell on the first street off the belt, but luckily he went to prison.
