Plant a bed in a public garden watered by an existing solar pump in Kingston, NY.

A small array on a school or community garden usually powers one thing: a pump. Plant a bed in a public garden in Kingston that the pump serves, with the garden steward's permission, recording variety, source and sowing date, and recording what waters this bed TODAY, whether that is the solar pump, a mains spigot, hauled water or nothing. New York carries the deepest solar-grazing practice in the country through the American Solar Grazing Association, so a shepherd here is a real and nameable person rather than a hypothetical. If no solar-fed garden exists here yet, the packet still plants the bed and records which garden could take a pump and what it uses now, so the comparison has a before.

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

steward permission + today's water source named + variety, source and sowing date + before/after bed photos with 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.

Bring

• hand tools: fork, trowel, rake, watering can
• seed or transplants with a named variety and source
• mulch
• a marked bucket or the garden's own meter for measuring applied water
• camera and a GPS phone

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the garden steward's permission and record what waters this bed today: an existing solar-powered pump, a mains spigot, hauled water or nothing.
2. 2. Photograph the bed and the water source from fixed points, and read the pump's nameplate and array size from outside the equipment, without opening, switching, connecting or touching anything.
3. 3. Prepare the bed with hand tools, plant the named varieties at the labeled spacing, and record the variety, the source and the sowing date.
4. 4. Water the bed from the garden's existing source, measuring the volume applied with a marked bucket count or the garden's own meter, and record it with the source used on the day.
5. 5. Mulch the bed and publish the before and after photographs, the variety and source record, and the applied volume with its measurement method.

What counts as done

• The garden steward's permission and their name or role, with the bed identified
• What waters this bed today, named: existing solar-powered pump, mains spigot, hauled water or nothing, with a photo of the source from outside it
• Variety, seed or transplant source and the sowing date for everything planted
• Before and after photos of the bed from fixed points with GPS and dates

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
