Just planting, seeding, harvesting, after ´some´ preparations.

With mulch (hay, straw, leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, every green ´wastes´) Ruth Stout, (mulch layers gardening) {{cite web |title=Ruth Stout's System for Gardening |url=https://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/ruth-stouts-system-zmaz04fmzsel |website=Mother Earth News "Learn how to use mulch to cut down on weeding and heavy labor in your garden by using the Ruth Stout gardening method."|accessdate=May 29, 2020}} Quote "the same materials that one might find in a compost heap" Ruth_Stout#The_Stout_System. Biodegradeable materials. Used Coffee grounds.

Not dig, not to interfere, into the soil structure, when the soil is healthy, is one point of this method, not to destroy this structure.

This means: already existing good (healthy) soil just needs regular mulching.

In the other case, for ´good, healthy soil´ life (organisms, fungi), has to be brought to into the soil.

This can be done with (animal´s) manure, dung (wikipedia disambiguation page) (see: Nitrification Ammonia to nitrite, then nitrite to nitrate, which is nitrogen-containing mineral nutrient (from the german article https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrifikation: Cite "So entsteht für Pflanzen stickstoffhaltiger Mineralnährstoff.")), at least once, the first time, if life has to be brought in first, but also continuing. Without the need to be mixed, the materials of the layers or with the native soil, except (´once´) from (a special) need. Possible additionly: Compost, Terra Preta (char-coal), EMs (Effective microorganisms) Effective_microorganism#Validation or Indigenous microorganisms Korean_natural_farming#Indigenous_microorganisms.

(Even cardboard can be used as layer. Quote "... cardboard may be composted ..." Cardboard#Recycling, or/and paper, for example news-paper, and so on.)

(Note: Fresh dung has nitrogen, and wood chips (mulch) do use nitrogen to compost. So both do benefit from each other to compost. See Nitrification.)

Criticism to Wikipedia: This, the first time after years, makes me understand ´permaculture´ as ideology. And to recognize, that permaculture does not represent itself as ideology. It is hiding this status, and it is not easy at all to recognize that. Wikipedia should not support this hiding, please. (Maybe here displaced.)

Reprinted (2011) by [http://www.nortoncreekpress.com/wordpress/gardening_without_work/ Norton Creek Press gardening_without_work], insights How does it work? “And now let’s get down to business. The labor-saving part of my system is that I never plow, spade, sow a cover crop, harrow, hoe, cultivate, weed, water or irrigate, or spray. I use just one fertilizer (cottonseed or soybean meal), and I don’t go through the tortuous business of building a compost pile. Just yesterday, under the ‘Questions and Answers’ in a big reputable farm paper, someone asked how to make a compost pile and the editor explained the arduous performance. After I read this I lay there on the couch and suffered because the victim’s address wasn’t given; there was no way I could reach him. “My way is simply to keep a thick mulch of any vegetable matter that rots on both my vegetable and flower garden all year round. As it decays and enriches the soil, I add more. And I beg everyone to start with a much eight inches deep; otherwise, weeds may come through, and it would be a pity to be discouraged at the very start.”

Author´s note: Reasons for this article

So ´many´ (no dig, no till, the soil for planting) methods are being recovered, that I want a summary of ´No Dig, No Till, Garden, Farm, Less Watering, Methods´ as a one own topic. But this as title for a Wikipedia article is just too long.

(Meant for as ´development history´ and ´methods collecting´, as far as possible, under these terms. But without excluding the fitting terms articles just in many other different words possible.)
