All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Plant the community greenhouse bed in Los Angeles, CA. Until it is planted, the bed is bare and the greenhouse grows no food. This packet does not assert a surveyed condition beyond that. The proof requirements listed on this packet are what counts as done. Name the exact site and confirm it with its host before you claim: this listing gives only the area. For the payer: - Price: $328 per job, counted in beds planted. - Likely payer: A grant-funded nonprofit crew (LA Conservation Corps, LANI, Clean California or CAL FIRE grants), or the site's host.
Fund it for $328. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
After the crew's safety orientation, no other special training is needed. Never plant visibly pest- or disease-affected transplants, and keep the structure ventilated while transplanting to avoid heat stress on new plantings; wear boots and leather-palm gloves; outdoors, employer provides N95s above smoke AQI 150.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: sturdy closed-toe boots for shovel and tool strikes on rough ground; leather-palm gloves for thorns, glass and soil contact.
- Outdoors: wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
- Outdoors: heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
- Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- GPS-capable phone
- camera
- garden fork/broadfork + hand trowel
- finished compost + rake
- seeds or transplants (labeled)
- mulch (straw/leaf)
- watering can or hose
Steps
- 1. Confirm the bed location inside the posting radius; record the GPS waypoint and photograph the bed before work.
- 2. Clear weeds and debris; loosen the top 8-12 inches with a fork/broadfork without inverting the soil profile.
- 3. Spread 1-2 inches of finished compost and rake the bed level.
- 4. Sow seeds to the depth/spacing on the packet, or set transplants at their correct depth, in labeled rows.
- 5. Water in gently to settle the soil around seeds/roots.
- 6. Apply a light straw/leaf mulch between rows to hold moisture, keeping it off seedling stems.
- 7. Record the crop plan, spacing, and a watering/harvest cadence for the next visit.
- 8. Enter crop list, GPS, before/after photos, and the care cadence into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- GPS waypoint recorded inside the posting radius
- Before and after photos of the planted greenhouse beds
- Crops sown/transplanted at packet-correct depth and spacing, in labeled rows
- Beds watered in, with a watering cadence recorded
- Site record: the exact site's name and street address, and the contact who agreed to the work
- Sign-off: the site host or steward, or the supervisor of the crew of record, signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Photos: take the before photo and the after photo from the same point (stand where the first one was taken and match its frame), each with its GPS point and its date and time.
- Care, agreed before you plant: write who waters this planting and for how long (the payer's establishment period; three years is the usual ask), and who replaces a plant that dies. With no named steward, do not plant.
- Site control: the work is on public ground, or the owner's or agency's written agreement for this site is attached, dated before the first photo.
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.
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, plus one Vealth service fee of 10% shown apart; the worker is paid the whole 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_1785462215419_08c7i9z","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
