All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Set up a recurring volunteer day at the no-dig demonstration bed, Hamilton Public Library. The no-dig demonstration bed at Hamilton Public Library in Hamilton, TX only teaches the practice if people actually see it worked on; a bed built once and left alone reads as landscaping, not as a technique anyone visiting could take home and use on their own ground.
Offer to pay $110. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Texas heat makes this hot fast, so work happens in early morning or evening with water and hydration breaks every 20 minutes. Watch for fire ant mounds and snakes before kneeling in tall grass or mulch, and check for ticks after handling leaf litter.
The full safety list for this job:
- Coordination and setup only at this rung; any tool use during a round follows the same hand-tool, no-till rungs above, never a powered tiller.
- This is a public site; setup is coordinated with staff throughout.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. Coordinate with Hamilton Public Library's staff to confirm a recurring date and a safe gathering spot beside the demonstration bed.
- 2. Set up simple hand-lettered signage at the bed explaining the sheet-mulch, no-dig practice in plain language, and what each visit will do that day, whether topping up mulch, transplanting through the mulch, or cutting spent plants at the soil line.
- 3. Confirm with staff who leads each round and how visiting residents sign in.
- 4. Photograph the finished signage and the gathering spot, and document the agreed recurring schedule.
What counts as done
- Written or recorded coordination from the site's staff
- Photo of the hand-lettered signage explaining the no-dig practice
- Photo of the gathering spot beside the demonstration bed
- Documented recurring schedule agreed with staff
- Confirmation that the signage explains the sheet-mulch, no-dig practice in plain language and names what each visit will do
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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
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
