From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Fallow-ground
     The expression, "Break up your fallow ground" (Hos. 10:12; Jer.
     4:3) means, "Do not sow your seed among thorns", i.e., break off
     all your evil habits; clear your hearts of weeds, in order that
     they may be prepared for the seed of righteousness. Land was
     allowed to lie fallow that it might become more fruitful; but


     when in this condition, it soon became overgrown with thorns and
     weeds. The cultivator of the soil was careful to "break up" his
     fallow ground, i.e., to clear the field of weeds, before sowing
     seed in it. So says the prophet, "Break off your evil ways,
     repent of your sins, cease to do evil, and then the good seed of
     the word will have room to grow and bear fruit."
