I would recommend less digging and more weeding. One result of digging is that weed seeds are brought to the surface to continue the cycle. Of course it is necessary to get air to the plant roots but “no dig” does this either by worm/micro bacterial action or by deep rooted “green manures” opening up the soil, (the one I really like for this is alfalfa).
