Good soil tilth can be obtained through mechanical and biological manipulation of the soil. Mechanical soil cultivation practices, including primary tillage (mold-board or chisel plowing) followed by secondary tillage (disking, harrowing, etc.), have the aim of producing a good seedbed.

How can I make my soil tilth?

Soil should be covered year-round by crops, mulches, or cover crops to prevent compaction and erosion by heavy rains and winds. Another strategy for improving both tilth and fertility is to increase soil organic matter (SOM) by adding compost or manure and by growing cover crops and tilling them under.
