What does TILTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The physical condition of cultivated soil, especially its texture, structure and workability after ploughing, harrowing or other tillage; also the general practice of tilling land.
Farmers judge good tilth by feel, looking for soil that crumbles into small, even clumps rather than solid clods or fine, powdery dust, since crumbly soil lets air, water and roots move through it easily. Achieving fine tilth before sowing seed matters enormously for germination, because seeds planted in poorly prepared soil often struggle to establish strong roots. Older writing sometimes used tilth more broadly for the whole practice or state of cultivation, as in land kept in good tilth, rather than narrowly for soil texture alone. Weather plays a large role in tilth as well, since working wet soil too early can compact it and ruin the very structure a farmer is trying to create.
How TILTH is used
Common in agricultural and gardening writing for the workable condition of soil after ploughing or other cultivation.
