How to Double Dig a Garden: 7 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow
21 Feb 2022Double-digging is a useful way of cultivating soil in new gardens and where deep top-soil is required. On poor or heavy soils and in vegetable gardens, it may be needed every three to five years. If you remove the sod from the bed completely you are depriving the soil of nutrients.

Double Digging - FineGardening
Double digging allows roots to reach deeper into the earth, where better-draining subsoil makes it less likely they'll become water-logged or oxygen-deprived. Deeper roots mean plants don't have to be watered as often. And more plants can grow in the same area because they don't have to rely on the topsoil alone for moisture and nutrients.
