Run the weekly summer watering round for young street trees.

Toppenish sits in irrigated desert: young street trees that miss even two weeks of summer water die in their first year. Plantings fail here not for lack of trees but for lack of a reliable watering round.

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.

How this work is done

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

Steps

1. Walk the mapped route of young street trees with water containers or a hose cart.
2. Give each tree a slow, deep soak of 10 to 15 gallons at the root zone.
3. Pull weeds from the mulch ring and top up mulch where it has thinned, keeping it off the trunk.
4. Note any tree that looks stressed, broken, or missing.
5. Photograph three representative watered trees and the route log, GPS-tagged and dated.

What counts as done

• Photos of at least three watered trees with wet root zones
• Route log listing every tree watered
• GPS coordinates and date

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.
