For years I would turn over my raised beds every spring. I never looked forward to that task. A couple of years ago I was convinced by the gardeners that I follow on You Tube including Ben of GrowVeg to give no-till a shot. I have been won over! No-till saves me time, my back, and the healthy components of the soil that I used to damage by turning over my soil. My plan going forward is to add fresh compost as I put the beds to rest for the winter and again in the spring when I wake them up. I have always used mulch so I will continue that as well. Thanks again for sharing your gardening experience and wisdom.
