Not Dig, Not Till, Garden, Farm, Less Watering, Methods. Just planting, seeding, harvesting, after ´some´ preparations.
With mulch (hay, straw, leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, every green ´wastes´) [1][2]. Biodegradeable materials.
Not dig, 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 all other cases ´good soil´ life has to be brought to into the soil. This can be done with dung (disambiguation page), compost, Terra Preta, EMs (effective microorganisms), at least the first year, but also some more years. Without the need to be mixed, just as layers possible.
(Even cardboard can be used as layer. Quote "... cardboard may be composted ..." [3], or/and paper, for example news-paper, and so on.)

Reasons for this article 
So many (no dig) 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´, under these term.)
