Sub-claim "Compost can be applied as a top layer to build soil health w…": 80% covered by S1 — S1 describes topping a no-dig bed with compost and mentions no tilling and preserving soil structure, directly supporting top-layer application and soil health improvement without digging.
Sub-claim "No-dig raised beds demonstrate that compost provides nutrien…": 50% covered by S1 — S1 states the layers break down into rich soil over a season, implying decomposition and fertility, but does not explicitly mention nutrients being provided to plants.
Sub-claim "Compost used in no-dig beds acts as a mulch to suppress weed…": 20% covered — S1 mentions mulch alongside compost, but it only credits cardboard with smothering weeds and does not describe compost suppressing weeds or retaining moisture.
Sub-claim "The no-dig method reveals that compost supports soil biology…": 90% covered by S1 — S1 explicitly says no-dig preserves soil structure and the fungal networks plants rely on, which directly supports the claim about soil biology and structure.
Most sub-claims are adequately covered or partially covered by S1. The only weak claim (compost as mulch for weed suppression and moisture retention) is not well supported, but none of the available skipped sources are relevant to the topic of no-dig gardening or compost. Buying them would not fill the gap, so no purchases are recommended.

Final coverage assessment — The source text describes a no-dig bed with compost as a top layer and notes that without tilling, it preserves soil structure and fungal networks. However, it does not provide evidence that compost itself provides nutrients to plants, acts as a mulch for weed suppression/moisture retention, or specifically supports soil biology, as those claims are not stated.

Building a no-dig raised bed reveals that compost can be applied as a top layer to build soil health without digging . It also demonstrates that compost provides nutrients to plants as it decomposes, as the layers break down into rich soil . Furthermore, compost used in no-dig beds acts as a mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture, starting with cardboard to smother weeds, topped with compost and mulch . Finally, the no-dig method reveals that compost supports soil biology and structure when left undisturbed, preserving soil structure and the fungal networks plants rely on .
