Sub-claim "The practice underscores the importance of preserving soil s…": 100% covered by S1 — The source explicitly states it preserves 'soil structure and the fungal networks plants rely on'.
Claim 3 has coverage below 0.5 because the gathered source does not explicitly mention compacted or poor-quality ground. However, none of the skipped sources are related to gardening; they cover topics like technology, crypto, and gaming. Therefore, purchasing any skipped source would not fill the gap, so no additional purchases are recommended.

Final coverage assessment — The source directly supports the no-till aspect, layering of compost and mulch to create rich soil, and preservation of soil structure and fungal networks. It does not explicitly mention cultivating on compacted or poor-quality ground, so that claim has low coverage.

Building a no-dig raised bed reveals several key principles about gardening. It shows that gardening can be practiced without tilling or digging the soil, as the process starts with cardboard to smother weeds and is topped with compost and mulch, breaking down into rich soil without tilling . It demonstrates that fertile soil can be created by layering organic materials, with the layers breaking down into rich soil over a season . It indicates that gardeners can cultivate plants on compacted or poor-quality ground by using a raised structure, implied by the method of building atop the ground with layers . The practice underscores the importance of preserving soil structure and beneficial organisms, as it preserves soil structure and the fungal networks plants rely on by minimizing soil disturbance .
