What the work involvesThe shared garden plots serving Live Oak's farmworker and mobile-home-park families lose soil fertility fast with heavy annual planting and no regular compost input. A seasonal compost application rebuilds the soil so the plots keep producing food for the households that depend on them.
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Confirm the invited garden site and plot boundaries.
- Spread a measured layer of compost across each plot.
- Work the compost lightly into the top few inches of soil.
- Water the plots in after application.
- Photograph the finished plots with GPS and date.
What counts as done
- Before photo of bare soil
- After photo of amended plots with GPS/date
- Compost volume note
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Soil Health. Soil health is the discovery, now written into USDA standards, that soil is not dirt but a living body: it breathes, digests, holds water, and can sicken or recover. The tests are wonderfully physical. Time how fast water soaks in. See whether a clod holds together in water or falls apart. Smell for the sweetness of organic matter. Mastery looks like a farmer who can read a handful of ground like a page. This packet is one plot examined by those methods and recorded, one honest page in the story of a piece of land.
What is promised, and what is not.
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1784514572611_vhiefvl","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
