(Author´s note: A now just redirected my article "No till garden" I do not edit further more there. Edit I do here.  Author´s note: This article has some kind of sortings. Also the graphical appearance of the texts and the structure in the ´Edit source´. Against a basic rule of Wikipedia I prefer to do any changes in this article by mysyelf, after talking about in "Talks". Many thanks this respect.

[no till garden, farm, food forest (no till soil building, mulch layers method system: for (in the main) keeping moisture (water) more and longer); water self providing gardening and farming]

No-Dig, No-Till, No-Work Gardening, Farming, Methods for Less Water and Less Watering, Soil Multiplying.
Just planting, seeding, harvesting, after ´some´ preparations. With mulch (hay, straw, leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, every green ´wastes´). 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 ), 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) or Indigenous microorganisms. (Even cardboard can be used as layer. Quote "... cardboard may be composted ...", 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.)

Books 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.)
