Build a clean-soil raised bed so a North Omaha family can garden above the ground.

In the Omaha lead cleanup area, the safe way to grow food is above the native soil: a framed raised bed with a barrier layer and trucked-in clean soil mix. Families here want gardens and deserve ones that are safe by construction. One bed is one afternoon.

Pay

$220 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

photos of barrier, clean fill, and finished bed

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Confirm the host's invitation and site the bed on level ground away from the home's drip line.
2. Assemble the untreated lumber frame at least 12 inches deep.
3. Lay a permeable barrier fabric across the base and up the inside walls.
4. Fill with certified clean soil-and-compost mix and rake smooth.
5. Photograph the barrier going in, the filled bed, and the finished result, GPS-tagged and dated.

What counts as done

• Photo of the barrier layer installed
• Photo of the clean fill going in
• Photo of the finished bed
• GPS coordinates and date

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Edible Garden Cultivation. Edible garden cultivation is food growing done to the standards the land-grant universities have refined for a century: healthy soil in tested beds, the right crop in the right season, hand tools, patience, and records. Mastery looks like a Master Gardener's plot, beds that feed a family most of the year from a piece of ground the size of a parking space. Every gardener who reaches that point started with a single bed and a single season. This packet is that start: one bed built or tended properly, one honest note about what happened.
