Answer
Hello
A. Rambam spoke about two types of legumes, and the Gemara refers to a field next to a vineyard, where the prohibition of planting side by side is from the Torah.
B. Fortunate are you that you have the desire to innovate and write. It is certainly worthwhile to engage in this to get used to thinking, studying, and writing words of Torah. [But not at the expense of established study schedules].
It is very advisable that you first write for yourself, according to the order you think, and after some time show it to Torah scholars to see if there is merit in printing for the public. Your main benefit is even if you print only one copy for yourself. Because this will sharpen you and get you used to writing, and it will benefit you in your continued ascent in Torah.
C. The commentators are divided on this matter:
The opinion of Rabbeinu Bachya and other commentators is that the messenger is the well-known angel appointed for missions, called 'Metatron'.
The opinion of Rabbi Yitzchak Arama is that the messenger here is the element of water, [according to him, angel, seraph, messenger, other - they are the four elements: air, fire, water, earth].
The opinion of Rabbi Shlomo Kluger is that the messenger is Moshe Rabbeinu, who was the messenger to bring Israel out of Egypt and to perform the plagues. And here it was not done through him.
