    If you are going to do an article about water use, I’d suggest you eventually cover the following topics for your readers if you haven’t already done so:
    1) When to start watering, and when to stop
    2) How much water to apply and how quickly
    3) How to check plants and soil to assess the need for watering and when enough has been applied
    4) Different methods of irrigating with their pros and cons

    Another area you could say more about would be wind control. This often goes without mention, but is more important than most people realize, and can be done very easily in many settings.
    Glad to see you writing about the topic.
    thx Dan G
    PS The photograph of Emerald Okra is still incorrect after notice on this quite a long time ago. Emerald has a round pod with no ridges.
