Run the watering round for young buffer trees.

Tree buffers between homes and industry are one of the few physical protections river-town residents can build themselves, but young live oaks and cypress die in their first summers without water. A weekly route keeping each young tree alive is quiet work that compounds for fifty years. The mature buffer means shade, dust capture, and a green line where a bare one stood.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

GPS-tagged photo of every watered tree, weekly

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.

Steps

1. Walk or drive the route list of young buffer and yard trees.
2. Water each slowly with 10 to 15 gallons at the root zone.
3. Weed and top up mulch rings, keeping mulch off trunks.
4. Note failing or damaged trees on the tally sheet.
5. Photograph each watered tree with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Photo of each tree with water applied, GPS and date
• Tally sheet photo
• Route wide shot

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Tree Planting and Establishment. Planting a tree properly is a codified craft, and the arborists' standards are blunt about why: most young trees that die were killed at planting, by a hole dug too deep, a root ball left bound, a first summer without water. Mastery looks like trees you planted years ago still standing, which is the only measure arborists accept. The craft lives in exactly the steps this packet asks for: the wide shallow hole, the freed roots, the mulch kept off the trunk, the watering that follows. Plant one tree correctly and you know something real.
