Agricultural Techniques

• Enclosures - scattered holdings replaced by enclosed fields.

  Improved efficiency, reduced duplication and encouraged experimentation.
• More effective crop rotation - aided by enclosure, but also experimental crops like clover and turnips. Clover helps nitrate the soil, and turnips are frost resistant.
• Water meadows - damp soil encourages growth of grass.

  More farm animals and working animals and livestock.
• Walter Bilth - literature spreads new techniques.
