How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm with library staff how the property edge and any buried utility line is currently handled, then act.
2. 2. Photograph the exposed, windward edge before planting.
3. 3. Dig planting holes by hand along the windward edge matched to each shrub root ball, and plant a native shrub windbreak hedgerow (agarita, cedar elm, or Texas persimmon) at design spacing, backfilling with native soil.
4. 4. Mulch and water in the planting, and photograph the finished hedgerow from the matching before vantage, recording species and count.

What counts as done

• Confirmation of library staff permission and coordination on site
• Before photo of the bare, exposed windward edge
• Native shrub species and count recorded
• Confirmation only hand tools were used
• After photo of the finished hedgerow planting from the matching vantage

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.
