Answer: They created Terraces into the mountainside

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inca dug into the mountain side and created Terraces, which allowed them to filter water down the mountain side, as well as make a steeper ledge, since they did everything by hand, with hand made hoe's made out of branches and stones, they where able to till the ground to plant the seeds. The mountainside dirt was very enriched with minerals, which made it perfect land for farming.
