The message
from Sacha contains these words:

Digging in what circumstances? If making a new bed, or clearing out an old
one, I don't see how you can avoid it.

Cover with mulch, and hoe down any weeds that appear.

And you have to turn the soil to get
a workable tilth for veg etc, surely

No. It helps with root veg such as carrots and parsnips, but if the
ground is good and friable, it doesn't really matter.

But if talking about well-stocked
flower beds, we haven't a hope of digging ours for fear of what we'd destroy
that's currently hiding under the ground.

Likewise for veg. and fruit...
