Need help maintaining my vegetable garden beds and soil health

I have a small backyard vegetable garden and I’m looking for someone to help with routine maintenance. Tasks include weed control, watering, pruning of herbs, mulching, and checking soil moisture. I’d like tips on improving soil health and composting, plus careful planting suggestions for a beginner-friendly layout. The work should be done with attention to sustainability, using eco-friendly products where possible. Flexible on days, but I’d prefer a morning start and a tidy, end-of-day cleanup. Please bring basic gardening tools and be comfortable working outdoors in variable UK weather.
