No tilling is absolutely my favorite - and for the reasons you describe: the soil flourishes. Plowing is fun, and freshens things up, but not everyones soil benefits from plowing.
I am glad that your soil retained its vitality. The more I think about it, the more I think the sheet-rock MUD contains formaldehyde. Why in the world they have to put formaldehyde in sheet-rock mud and shampoo is beyond me.

Because I only have a couple of inches of sandy soil, with sand under it, I don't have to really worry about compaction.
