Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — The provided source text only partially covers the claims. It confirms compost is a key component and is used to build layers, but does not explicitly state that compost enhances soil structure (only that layers break down into rich soil) or that it supports plant growth without digging (though it mentions preserving soil networks plants rely on). Additional sources would be needed for full coverage.
