Our local video crew has created an excellent video on the process of double digging a garden bed.
Double digging is essentially a process that breaks up a garden's subsoil. Our local soils that formed in a meadow often benefit from double digging. The more sandy soils on the alluvial fans don't need to be double dug. (But you do need to dig out the rocks!)
