Tilth can refer to two things[1]:
- One is tillage.
- A measure of the health of soil. Good tilth is a term referring to soil that has the proper structure, and nutrients to grow healthy crops. Soil in good tilth is loamy, nutrient rich soil that can also be said to be friable because optimal soil has a mixture of sand, clay and organic matter that prevents severe compaction.
