It rained but a few.
Days were too dry. My crops haven't been doing well. Almost everyday I have watered but it couldn't be enough. The water couldn't soak inside soil more than 1 cm. I desperately needed the rain. Finally the rain came but it was very disappointed. For a month, during a month the rain wasn't falling. Not at all. The soil had dried, the crops had been weakened.
I had mulched around the crops with weeds clippings to prevent the evaporation of moisture but I think it was a mistake in other view. Because when I watered, the water couldn't get through the mulching and reach to soil. Still, the dryness around the crops couldn't be solved.
I peeled off the mulching today. I put them down on the furrow. And I broke down some ridges to make it lower. I thought some ridges were too high. I made them high intentionally because the type of the soil was clay soil so the drainage was not good. I plowed down again and made it lower. I could find some tunnel made by moles. The roots were floating so that they couldn't settle down. I broke that tunnels. I had expected the crops to do well but I guess it would be as not good as like every years it did. I realized I was still greenhorn of farming.

You need to add a noun after 'watered' for the sentence to make sense :)

Enjoyed the topic of this journal. Hoping that you get some rain soon and your crops become strong and sturdy :) Mulching is good to prevent water from evaporating after a period of rain, but if there is no rain it might not be as useful. We have the opposite problem here in the U.K. It rains way too much and I have loads of slugs and snails eating my vegetables!

Oh I see. Thank you so much for correcting. I have a question. The roots literally were floated above the mole tunnels. The tunnels went through right under the roots. Could you still say 'the roots were loose'?
June 2, 2022
Hm it's a tricky sentence! But I understand it more now after your explanation. I still wouldn't say 'floating' because that usually implies something is in water. I think you could say "the roots of my crops were visible above the mole tunnels" and people would understand what you mean.

Oh, I see. I didn't know float implies something is in water. Thank you.

Not all of the time. Sometimes a smell can 'float' in the air, or clouds can 'float' in the sky, but it's usually specific things that float. Sorry more complication XD
