tilth
tilth
- n the state of aggregation of soil and its condition for supporting plant growth
- n arable land that is worked by plowing and sowing and raising crops
- This meant more than the tactile love that can tell the soil's fertility and tilth from a little dirt crumbled be tween two fingers.
- Except where the trees stood in neat clumps upon the hills and where a belt of cornfields crept up among the contours, the turf and tilth were thin upon the rock.
