In the spring or in the fall really doesn't seem to matter. Then I will till and plant. This leaves the soil soft so my cultivator will go in. I have too big of a garden to be able to weed by hand (hoe). If you have a small garden, can mulch or cover the soil, then it may work for you. The neat thing is, it's trial and error. It may work for you. It may not. I'm convinced about what I've seen, and I'll keep my plow, tiller, and cultivators.
I've tried the no till in part of my garden. More work than it worth to me. I still had weeds when I mulch. Back to doing the same thing J-Mech does.
