| Putting carbon in the soil improves tilth, soil structure, nutrient retention, rooting depth and stability. | 
| Rotating corn with forages on minesoils is encouraged because soil tilth rapidly improves with forage cover. | 
| This organic matter helps to maintain good tilth, helps to hold moisture, and acts as a storehouse for plant nutrients. | 
| Usually, a pass is made with a rolling cultivator to bust up the clods and make for a finer tilth. | 
| Crop residue has a nutrient value and will catch snow, reduce evaporation, increase infiltration, and improve soil tilth. | 
| This is a good time to put some effort into the less glamorous side of gardening, although creating the perfect tilth can be rewarding in itself. |
