What the work involvesFood and yard scraps at a community garden in Houston, TX go to landfill. Setting up compost turns them into soil for the community garden.
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 90–360 minutes. Method of record: Compost application per NRCS CPS 336 / CDFA Healthy Soils quantification (rate, quality, incorporation for the site), finished compost only; assess→apply→verify
Bring
- finished compost meeting the quality spec (temperature-cured; STA/US Composting Council tested where available)
- spreader, wheelbarrow + rakes/shovels at garden scale
- camera + GPS + tape/bucket for rate calibration
- gloves + dust mask for dry material handling
Steps
- 1. ASSESS: photograph the application area as found, record GPS boundary and area, and confirm the application rate (tons/acre or inches of depth) and compost quality documentation against the plan.
- 2. Calibrate the rate (bucket-per-area or spreader pass test) so the applied depth matches the plan.
- 3. Apply compost evenly across the area; keep material out of waterways, drains, and off pavement (sweep any spill back onto soil).
- 4. Incorporate or leave surface-applied exactly per the plan (no-till surface application is valid under CPS 336).
- 5. VERIFY: photograph the finished application from matching vantage + a depth-check photo (ruler in the applied layer) at ≥3 points; log source, quantity, rate, and date as the application record.
If it does not match the plan
- Compost not finished (hot, ammonia smell, recognizable feedstock) -> reject the load; immature compost harms the soil it should build.
- Rain forecast that would wash material to a drain before incorporation -> delay application.
- Application area drains directly to a waterway with no buffer -> route to the conservation planner for a setback plan first.
What counts as done
- Site photo before and after setup
- Signage photo (what goes in / what stays out)
- First-batch charge log + names/count of volunteers walked through the routine
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

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.
