Sub-claim "No-dig gardening preserves soil structure and beneficial org…": 100% covered by S1 — S1 explicitly says the method works 'without tilling, preserving soil structure and the fungal networks plants rely on'.
Sub-claim "Raised beds enable gardeners to control soil quality and dra…": 20% covered — S1 describes a no-dig raised bed but says nothing about controlling soil quality or drainage; the claim is not supported by the available text.
Sub-claim "Layering organic materials like cardboard and compost builds…": 100% covered by S1 — S1 states the bed 'starts with cardboard to smother weeds, topped with compost and mulch' and that 'the layers break down into rich soil without tilling'.
Sub-claim "The method shows that gardening can be low-labor and sustain…": 40% covered by S1 — S1 supports reduced digging by saying 'without tilling', and the use of cardboard could imply reuse, but low-labor and sustainability are not explicitly addressed.
Coverage is strong for the core no-dig/layering claims. The two weaker claims are not substantially filled by any skipped source, as all skipped sources are unrelated (crypto, gaming, esoteric topics, etc.), so no further purchases are warranted.

Final coverage assessment — Only the no-dig aspect is supported by the single source. Several sub-claims (especially raised bed soil control/drainage and the full scope of low-labor/reuse benefits) are not sufficiently evidenced.
