After a little talk, we decided to plow half the garden. We found just about 4 full plots worth of gardeners who were on for no plow and one who was game for no plow.
In theory, and perhaps in future years, no plow would let gardeners start a little earlier in the season. This year it was a toss up since we didn't get around to deciding until the last moment. Only a few gardeners took time to start working the soil early.
There are also benefits of no carbon emissions and a benefit of some volunteer plants. We've seen a few beans, many sunflowers, daikon radishes and some herbs.
