How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Agree the test spots with the garden manager before starting, and bring water for yourself.
- Record a GPS waypoint for the garden the title names and write down today's date.
- For each bed you test, place the infiltration ring on the bed's soil and take a photo of the test in place.
- Fill the ring to 1 inch with water and time how many minutes it takes to soak in; write the time next to the bed's name and date.
- Take a small crumb of soil from the same spot and rate its aggregate stability as a class from 1 to 6; write the class next to the bed's name and date.
- Look at the soil at the spot and write a note on the visible organic matter and roots.
- Record the test photo, GPS waypoint, infiltration time, aggregate stability class and organic matter / root note for each bed, labeled by bed and date.
What counts as done
- Photo of infiltration ring test
- GPS waypoint
- Infiltration time (min for 1 inch)
- Aggregate stability class (1-6)
- Visible organic matter / root note
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 that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788171505633_3jmyuo0","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
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
