Tend the native ground cover through the season.

A seeded strip is made or lost in its second and third years, and the usual way it is lost is a mower or a sprayer arriving on the old schedule. Tend the strip at Dakota County community solar gardens this season: hand-pull the invasives, keep the signage standing, cut once late rather than repeatedly in bloom, and record what is flowering and what is visiting. prairie-region ground cover scored against the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources Habitat Friendly Solar standard. The visit also checks that nothing has grown tall enough to shade a module, because that is how a habitat promise gets mown away.

Pay

$125 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.

Proof

dated GPS photos + invasives pulled by name and count + bloom and visitor record + module clearance check

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.

Bring

• regionally native low-growing seed mix with a species label and a labeled sowing rate
• hand tools: rake, broadfork, hand weeder, tamper
• measuring tape, flags and a GPS phone
• camera
• no-mow signage, stakes and a mallet
• hi-vis vest

Steps

1. 1. Get the site owner's written permission naming the exact area, and call for a utility locate before any tool enters the ground.
2. 2. Score the ground as it is: dominant species, bare-soil share, the mowing regime today, the mature height the owner's clearance allows, and the state habitat scorecard result where a state runs one.
3. 3. Flag the area and photograph it from fixed points, keeping every part of the work clear of cable runs, conduit risers, post footings and equipment pads.
4. 4. Prepare the ground with hand tools only: rake or broadfork the surface, loosen where the soil sampling found compaction, and use no herbicide and no weed killer of any kind. On a capped or lined site, surface work only and no tool that breaks the cap.
5. 5. Sow the native mix at its labeled rate, photograph the label, record the species list, the supplier and the sowing date, and set the no-mow signage.
6. 6. Publish the before and after photos, the GPS polygon, the seed label, the mature height against the owner's clearance limit, and the first-year care plan with a named steward.

What counts as done

• GPS waypoint and dated photos of the strip from the planting packet's fixed points
• Invasive plants pulled, by name and rough count, and where they went
• Plants in flower and pollinators observed by group on this visit
• The tallest ground cover height measured against the owner's clearance limit, with the signage confirmed standing and the steward named

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
