For two years, I have yet to dig a single hole or till at all! I do plan on digging soon to create ponds and waterway irrigation systems, but when starting a garden, digging is absolutely not necessarily and abstaining from it really helps with weeds.

In the image you will see I didn't use very much soil/compost (I would normally recommend 4-6" on top of the cardboard), but we are hoping for pumpkins this amount is soil will be fine and we can create higher beds elsewhere.
