Seems to be an informed opinion?

Traditional digging, no dig, lunar planting all have their merits because people have the freedom of choice. I doubt any of us all see gardening the same way. I have tried a few beds using no dig and can find no real benefits as nothing grows bigger or better, I still got weeds and were no easier or harder to remove. Pests are just as hungry, regardless of your method.

I have never understood lunar planting and have no intention of trying but those that do have just exercised a choice. Science refers to it as folklore.

I also hate advertisements in magazines, when I was a mod somewhere else, I got a mag every month as payment but never opened one for 3 years due to the total lack of editorial content.

I am a digger and always will be whilst my health allows it.

You forgot lasagne gardening,square foot gardening,Hugelkulture, straw bale, double dig gardening, Pocket planting,Holistic gardening, narrow bed planting and raised bed gardening to name but a few of the many connotations we gardeners use.
I like to try as many things as possible and see what works for me. People must think I have part shares in a cardboard factory as every time I visit the plot I have an arm full of cardboard.

I am a fan of the no-dig cardboard and compost mulch, but not on heavily compacted stone ridden earth, unless its paths of course. I enjoy digging and remove stones and weeds while I am working on some of my compacted areas.
I have compacted paths with a plan of adding cardboard to them then wood chippings when I get sick of hoeing paths 

I like the idea of raised beds without sides and that is what I am working to at the moment as the wooden edged beds I inherited slowly rot away.
I might even have a go at Hugelkulture as I have a pile of rotten wood I need to get rid of.

I personally will carry on mixing it up and experimenting with no-dig, but keep my options open to ALL methods!
