For a concise written summary of this approach, see my Diary http://www.charlesdowding.co.uk/product/charles-dowdings-vegetable-garden-diary/ with strategies for no dig success, timings of associated sowings, hoeing and mulching, and beautiful photos of this garden.
My online course about no dig explains the process in depth. It includes 20 videos you will not find elsewhere https://charlesdowding.co.uk/product/online-course-1-no-dig-gardening/
In 2020 I have published a manual of No Dig Gardening, from Weeds to Vegetables Easily and Quickly https://charlesdowding.co.uk/product/charles-dowdings-no-dig-gardening-course-1-signed/
