Double digging is similar to rototilling. If using compost, spread compost evenly  on ground.
Dig one spade's depth; set it aside. Loosen one spade depth more.  
Dig another spade depth right next to it. Fill the first hole with the second spade of soil.
Loosen the next layer in the second hole and so on.
This method is good for smaller planting areas or if a rototiller is not available.
It's basically a way of aerating and turning the soil.
