Build a container vegetable garden on a rented balcony -- a renter's apartment near the 400 block of TX-31, Athens, TX 75751 (Henderson County).
Fund it for $85. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
$85 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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee.
What the work involvesA renter with no yard and no in-ground bed still eats, but a rented balcony or patio's bare concrete grows nothing for them without a way to plant that needs no drilling, no ground-breaking and no landlord sign-off.
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. Confirm the balcony or patio's sun exposure in hours of direct light with the resident, and match crop choice to it -- leafy greens and herbs for part shade, tomatoes or peppers for full sun.
- 2. Select food-grade containers sized to the chosen crop's root depth, and drill drainage holes in the containers only, never the balcony floor.
- 3. Fill with a tested, known-clean potting mix -- never bagged native soil of unknown history -- and plant or seed at the recommended spacing.
- 4. Set up a simple hand-watering routine (watering can or drip-from-a-jug, no plumbed line into the unit) and water in the first planting.
- 5. Arrange the containers clear of the walking path and egress, and photograph the bare balcony before and the planted containers after.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the bare balcony or patio
- Confirmation of a tested, known-clean potting mix source, not bagged native soil
- Photo of drainage holes in the containers only
- After photo of the planted containers, clear of the walking path and egress
- Confirmation every container and its watering setup leaves with the resident at move-out
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Edible Garden Cultivation. Edible garden cultivation is food growing done to the standards the land-grant universities have refined for a century: healthy soil in tested beds, the right crop in the right season, hand tools, patience, and records. Mastery looks like a Master Gardener's plot, beds that feed a family most of the year from a piece of ground the size of a parking space. Every gardener who reaches that point started with a single bed and a single season. This packet is that start: one bed built or tended properly, one honest note about what happened.
What is promised, and what is not.
Funding this work is a purchase or a vote, same act: you either want this done here, or you want the world to contain it. A vote is free and signed; funding starts at one cent and anything beyond the wage is recorded as a premium for the worker. Either way the money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1787213335116_vsenxr6","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
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.
