Plant a new windbreak row on an invited exposed Susanville lot.

Susanville's homes and gardens on the open sage flats take the high-desert wind full force, which strips soil, kills gardens, and pulls winter heat straight out of houses. A row of hardy natives (junipers, desert peach, basin wildrye) planted on an invited lot's windward edge grows into decades of shelter for the home behind it.

Pay

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 of the planted row

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. Confirm the owner's invitation, mark the row on the windward edge, and photograph the site.
2. Dig planting holes at the plan spacing, twice the root-ball width.
3. Set each plant crown at grade, backfill, and water in deeply.
4. Build basins, mulch each plant, and stake the taller stock loosely against the wind.
5. Photograph the planted row and log species and spacing.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare edge with GPS and date
• After photos of the planted, basined, staked row
• Species and spacing log

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Tree Planting and Establishment. Planting a tree properly is a codified craft, and the arborists' standards are blunt about why: most young trees that die were killed at planting, by a hole dug too deep, a root ball left bound, a first summer without water. Mastery looks like trees you planted years ago still standing, which is the only measure arborists accept. The craft lives in exactly the steps this packet asks for: the wide shallow hole, the freed roots, the mulch kept off the trunk, the watering that follows. Plant one tree correctly and you know something real.
