The gathered source provides clear and direct support for all four sub-claims. The article explicitly describes building a raised bed without digging, explains how it minimizes soil disturbance, mentions benefits for soil health (preserving fungal networks), and details the construction method (cardboard, compost, mulch layers above existing ground).

All sub-claims already well-covered (sufficiency passed with 0 gaps) — skipping re-evaluation to save latency.

Final coverage assessment — The single source provides clear evidence for all four sub-claims, though with varying detail. The text directly states the method uses cardboard to smother weeds and layers compost and mulch without tilling (supporting claims 1, 2, and 4). It also explicitly mentions benefits for soil health and plant growth by preserving soil structure and fungal networks (supporting claim 3). Coverage is sufficient to answer the overall question.
