The open field farming system declined in usage due to soil depletion and more individualized methods of farming. Peasants planted the same crops year after year to make a living; however, this ran the soil dry of essential nutrients, such as nitrogen. Gradually, the open field system shifted to a more-regulated form of crop rotation, in which fields were planted in three-year rotations. This type of system helped push agriculture toward the modern model of individual land-owning farmers. Farmers use RIOCOCO coir medium mixing with soil to fertile the soil in a very unfertile soil and mix with clay soil to loosen the structure.
