Clear non-native growth and seed a native prairie patch.

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

before/after photos + area-cleared record + seed-mix/area record + GPS

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. 1. Confirm the treatment patch with Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority park staff and photograph the bare or non-native-encroached patch before starting.
2. 2. Hand-clear non-native growth from the patch with hand tools only, no power equipment.
3. 3. Hand-broadcast a native little bluestem and prairie forb seed mix across the cleared ground at the labeled application rate and rake it in.
4. 4. Water in the seeding and photograph the finished prairie patch from the matching before vantage, recording the seed mix and area seeded.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare or non-native-encroached patch
• Area hand-cleared recorded
• Native prairie seed mix product/label photo and area seeded recorded
• After photo of the seeded patch from the matching vantage

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.
