Sub-claim "No-dig gardening is a method of creating raised beds without…": 80% covered by S1 — Source S1 explicitly states that the no-dig raised bed involves cardboard, compost, and mulch breaking down 'without tilling' and preserving soil structure, which directly supports the claim. However, it doesn't provide a broad definition of no-dig gardening as a method, so coverage is good but not fully comprehensive.
Sub-claim "Building a no-dig raised bed involves layering materials to …": 100% covered by S1 — Source S1 details the process: starting with cardboard, topped with compost and mulch, which break down into 'rich soil'. This fully covers the claim.
Sub-claim "No-dig raised beds are designed to minimize soil disturbance": 100% covered by S1 — Source S1 mentions preserving 'soil structure and the fungal networks plants rely on' by not tilling, which directly implies minimized soil disturbance.
Sub-claim "This approach reveals that gardening can be done with reduce…": 60% covered by S1 — Source S1 implies reduced labor by avoiding tilling and focuses on soil preservation (disruption reduction), but it does not explicitly discuss labor aspects or broader revelations about gardening efficiency. The claim is partially supported but not fully elaborated.
All sub-claims have coverage above 0.5, with two claims fully covered. The gathered source provides substantial support for the core aspects of no-dig gardening. The skipped sources are unrelated to gardening topics (focused on crypto, AI, payments, etc.), so purchasing any would not improve coverage. Remaining budget is small and no relevant sources are available.

Final coverage assessment — The single source provided gives good coverage for claims about layering materials and minimizing soil disturbance, but does not explicitly state that it's a method 'without tilling the soil' (though it implies it by saying 'without tilling'). Coverage for 'reduced labor' is not directly addressed.
