Hand clean a wild-collected little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) seed lot, resident homes.

The wild-collected little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) seed lot from Cedar Hill State Park arrives full of chaff and seed-head debris; without hand threshing and winnowing it cannot be sown into an increase plot or a pollinator habitat planting at a known, usable seed weight.

$110 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. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

homeowner or resident permission record plus before after photos plus cleaned weight record plus ecoregion label photo

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. Typically 90–300 minutes. Method of record: Pollinator habitat strip establishment per Xerces Society native forb/grass planting guidelines (site-appropriate regional mix, no-till drill or hand-broadcast seeding), SDG 15.5 biodiversity; assess→seed→verify

Bring

• regional native forb/grass seed mix (Xerces Society or state pollinator-plan approved) at the planned rate
• no-till drill or hand broadcaster + rake for seed-to-soil contact
• camera + GPS + boundary marking flags/stakes
• gloves + sun protection

Steps

1. 1. ASSESS: photograph the strip/margin as found (bare ground, existing weeds, adjacent crop or pasture edge), record GPS boundary and area, and confirm the native mix + rate + seeding window against the site plan.
2. 2. Prepare the seedbed minimally (light raking of surface crust or weed knock-down already completed by others; no deep tillage) and mark the planting boundary.
3. 3. Broadcast or drill the native forb/grass mix at the planned rate and shallow depth appropriate to the species mix.
4. 4. Ensure seed-to-soil contact (rake-in or roll) and photograph/log the seeded boundary, mix, and rate as the establishment record.
5. 5. VERIFY: return at the plan's check window and photograph emergence across ≥3 representative points along the strip; log estimated native cover and flag bare gaps for reseeding.

If it does not match the plan

• Outside the viable seeding window for the regional mix -> reschedule; do not seed to fail.
• Existing weed pressure needs herbicide knock-down first -> route to a licensed applicator as a separate job before seeding.
• Strip drains directly to a waterway with no buffer -> route to the conservation planner for a setback plan first.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Before photo of the raw, uncleaned seed lot
• Confirmation that this job's seed lot was collected only after permission was obtained first from the managing public agency, and never from a stand that was small or of a rare, threatened, or conservation-concern species; that no more than one in five (20 percent) of the available seed was ever taken from the wild stand, with the estimated total and fraction taken recorded; that no precise coordinate of the individual collected stand was ever published; that the ecoregion and general site of origin travel with the seed lot and it was never moved outside that ecoregion; and that nothing was co
• Cleaned weight recorded against the original collected weight
• After photo of the cleaned seed lot with its ecoregion label

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
