rototilled
Soil was broken
Rototilled is the past tense of rototill, meaning to break up and turn soil using a rototiller—a motorized garden tool with rotating blades.
The process loosens compacted earth and mixes in amendments before planting: We rototilled the garden bed and added compost.
Figuratively, something rototilled has been thoroughly churned up or disrupted.
