Let's invent cheap teleportation and swap a cubic mile of heavy clay for sand. If you add 30% clay to your sandy soil, and I add 40% sand to my clayey soil, we'll both be happier.

Wouldn't work.
They tell us that mixing clay and sand makes concrete.

All we can do in the south, (clay or sand) is add a thick layer of mulch on top of the garden after setting out our plants...

And in the sand... Can't grow stuff from seed... The voles eat the seed as quick as they're covered... Gotta start everything in pots... Corn, beans, melons... Gotta start it all in containers...
