Even small gardens can use the no-till method to preserve and enrich soil
"How no-till works
"No-till farming, a type of soil conservation farming, prepares the
land for farming without mechanically disturbing the soil. The previous
year’s crops, referred to as the crop residue, are chopped off and left
on the topsoil. A no-till
planter then only slightly punctures the ground to inserts a seed. To
overcome the lost advantages of herbicide and pesticide that tillage
bring, safe and effective herbicides are applied to the land before and
after planting."
