We dug up our garden for our veg patch too! Didn't get the weeds first time, but as things started to grow, I was constantly pulling out weeds from spring onwards... it was easy!
I have through the summer a fairly weed-free beds.
We only added a bag of compost (hadn't made our own by then!).
I would love to be 100% organic, but I'm also for an easier life... its compromise with me! I did manage to find organic slug pellets!  now I've got the better answer to slugs - called Ginger, Salt and Pepper (my chickens  )
Good luck next year! It will be our second year of planting.
