I’ve tried to move over to a no-dig system on our plot sectioning it up etc. and it’s improved things for me. I can get usually access to free spent compost and a few other organic matters so it makes it ok. Still have to shovel it myself and hoik it into the car.
It’s not the be all and end all for weeds, but certainly my most productive beds are the ones I started no-digging. Last year I got a crop of garlic and onions followed by squash in the one bed I’ve had no-dig on for longest. First time I’ve managed two decent crops off one bed in a season (lettuce after spuds excepted).
