Tilling is the agricultural practice of turning over and breaking up soil to prepare it for planting. This process helps aerate the soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach plant roots more effectively. Tilling can also help control weeds and incorporate organic matter, such as compost, into the soil. There are different methods of tilling, including plowing, harrowing, and rototilling. Each method varies in intensity and depth, depending on the type of crop being grown and the condition of the soil. Proper tilling can enhance soil structure and promote healthy plant growth, contributing to better yields.
