No dig gardening is a method used by gardeners to help grow organic vegetables or ornamental plants.
Gardeners add organic matter, such as garden compost or manure, to the soil surface to help emulate the natural process of decomposition. Rather than being 'dug in' a no dig gardener allows the plants, fungi and other organisms to incorporate and breakdown the organic matter into the soil.
This results in the soil structure not being disturbed, as there is no digging taking place. Other organisms, such as worms, are left undisturbed as well which helps to keep the soil's ecosystem intact.
