$210 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.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated — Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
What the work involvesThe community food pantry at a community building in Bakersfield, CA cannot accept fresh or dairy donations without cold storage. Installing a reliable cooler expands what it can give out.
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- GPS-capable phone
- camera
- garden fork/broadfork + hand trowel
- finished compost + rake
- seeds or transplants (labeled)
- mulch (straw/leaf)
- watering can or hose
Steps
- 1. Confirm the bed location inside the posting radius; record the GPS waypoint and photograph the bed before work.
- 2. Clear weeds and debris; loosen the top 8-12 inches with a fork/broadfork without inverting the soil profile.
- 3. Spread 1-2 inches of finished compost and rake the bed level.
- 4. Sow seeds to the depth/spacing on the packet, or set transplants at their correct depth, in labeled rows.
- 5. Water in gently to settle the soil around seeds/roots.
- 6. Apply a light straw/leaf mulch between rows to hold moisture, keeping it off seedling stems.
- 7. Record the crop plan, spacing, and a watering/harvest cadence for the next visit.
- 8. Enter crop list, GPS, before/after photos, and the care cadence into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the pantry space with no cold storage
- Unit model/rating photo confirming food-safe refrigeration
- Temperature log confirming the unit holds 34-40F after a settling period
- After photo of the installed, running unit
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.
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_1788196871449_xscdq81","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.
