 No-dig gardening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No dig systems are said to be freer of pests and disease, possibly due to a more balanced soil population being allowed to build up in this comparatively undisturbed environment, and by encouraging the build up of beneficial rather than harmful soil fungi.
No dig is not a technique that is appropriate in all situations, but organic gardeners and farmers should at least consider minimising soil disturbing practices if they are to reverse soil damage and erosion.
The primary reasons for digging the soil are to remove weeds, to loosen and aerate the soil and to incorporate organic matter such as compost or manure.

The final Big Dig plan, then, combined several projects—the depression and improvement of the Central Artery, the construction of a third Harbor tunnel (now known as the Ted Williams Tunnel), and massive interchange improvements to the Massachusetts Turnpike and several other major routes in the area.
