Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at the Alternative Energy Centre near Macchynlleth? They're not as high as you, but they did create a veg garden out of, basically, slate. I saw it in the early days (1970s) when I remember some unhappy looking soya beans in a bed of slate chippings, and again 15 years later when the veg were flourishing. They might have some advice for you.
