Sub-claim "A no-dig raised bed is a method of gardening that avoids tra…": 90% covered by S1 — The gathered source explicitly states the method 'avoids tilling' and describes a process that builds soil without digging.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "Raised beds are a specific garden structure used for plantin…": 60% covered by S1 — The source mentions 'raised bed' as a gardening concept, but does not explicitly define it as a structure. The context implies it's a bed for planting.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "Building such a bed involves specific construction technique…": 80% covered by S1 — The source describes a technique: starting with cardboard, topping with compost and mulch, and allowing layers to break down.

Sub-claim "The method has implications or benefits for gardening practi…": 70% covered by S1 — The source mentions benefits: preserving soil structure and fungal networks plants rely on.

Re-evaluate

All claims have coverage above 0.5, with the lowest being 0.6 for the definition of raised beds, which is adequately implied by the gathered source. No additional purchases are needed as the existing source sufficiently covers the topic.

Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — The source covers the first sub-claim well, explains basic construction techniques for the third, and touches on benefits for the fourth. However, it does not explicitly address the definition of raised beds as a specific garden structure (second sub-claim), nor does it provide comprehensive coverage of all construction techniques or full implications. Additional sources would strengthen coverage for a complete answer.
