269 - Dig drainage canals in gardens to prevent pooling and flooding in gardens
270 - Practice Mix Cropping of water-sensitive crops with species that utilize lots of water and can help control water logged soils
271 - Alley crop water-sensitive species in-between with water-intensive species
272 - Use plastic polybags to plant vegetables that are off the ground and cannot be flooded
273 - Build mounds in gardens and plant with vulnerable root crops to keep them above flood waters
274 - Plant crops in raised beds to prevent flooding or excess moisture
