RE: Deep storage for prepping supplies should be approached logically to get the most use, for your hard-earned dollar.
The important thing is that you have started! Things Always take longer than they should. I can't transplant my fruit trees (cherry and peach) until I finish the well. I tried to move a Hawthorne, but I lost it. I am very close to a lake, and it is sandy soil; and will need bio-char and compost, with water.
My major food growing work, will be aquaponics in a wallipini (half buried greenhouse) that will use ground heat to grow year round. Still too much to do, with the way they are spending, SMH!

I also need a well and am considering a sandpoint. My land is part sandy clay loam and part sand dune, and extremely dry so a well will help. I am near an alkaline pond, that is really more of a small lake. Despite that, the soil is not too bad or too alkaline.
Exciting the wallipini. I want to build one as well. Thus far I am using cold frames. I grew a nice crop of carrots over winter, but then the frame flooded and the carrots froze! HAH! back to the drawing board.
I plan to lay 6 inch perforated pipe on the ground on the North side, and bury it when I dig the Wallipini. That way, I can use ground heat to warm it in the winter.
I will have to go down 80 feet for water, so I will go 120 feet to be sure! I plan to use water & air in a plastic drill!
