Tilth is an Old English word used to describe the structure and quality of cultivated soil. An even older meaning describes it as the cultivation of wisdom and spirit. A soil or person in good tilth was said to be "in good heart."
The Oxford English Dictionary defines tilth as labor, work, or effort directed to useful or profitable ends, especially in regards to the cultivation of the soil.
"Tilth is something every farmer can recognize but no scientist can measure." -Walter Russell
