What is tilth?
Career: Tilth
Tilth refers to the physical condition of soil in relation to its suitability for planting and growing crops. Good tilth means the soil is loose, crumbly, and has the right moisture and nutrient levels, making it easy for roots to grow and for air and water to move through. Achieving good tilth is essential for healthy plant development and high crop yields. Farmers and gardeners often improve tilth through practices like tilling, adding organic matter, and managing soil moisture.
