How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- hand cultivator/garden fork + weeding tools (hand tools only)
- arborist wood-chip mulch (3-inch layer, keep off the trunk flare)
- watering container(s) / water source access
- camera + measuring tape
Steps
- 1. ASSESS: photograph the tree pit as found; note compaction, weeds, trash, girdling material (wire, cords, mats), soil level against the trunk flare, and visible trunk damage.
- 2. Clear trash and weeds by hand; remove any girdling material from the trunk wherever it lifts free without cutting bark.
- 3. De-compact the top 2–3 inches of pit soil with a hand fork WITHOUT cutting roots ≥1 inch, work around them; level soil away from the trunk flare so the flare is visible.
- 4. Apply a 3-inch arborist-chip mulch ring keeping a 3-inch gap at the trunk (no volcano mulching), and water thoroughly (15–20 gallons for a young tree).
- 5. VERIFY: photograph the finished pit from the matching vantage (flare visible, mulch ring correct, pit weed-free) and log the watering; flag dead/hazard limbs or trunk wounds to the municipal urban-forestry line, never prune above shoulder height yourself.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the pit
- After photo from matching vantage (flare visible, mulch ring correct)
- Watering log with volume applied
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Street Tree Pit Restoration. A street tree lives its whole life in a few square feet of ground, and that small square decides everything. Tree pit restoration is the young-tree care the arborists' standards prescribe: loosen the trampled soil, clear the trash and the weeds, lay mulch like a blanket but keep it off the bark, check the trunk for wounds and forgotten ties. Mastery looks like a block where every young tree is visibly thriving. This packet is one pit brought back properly. A city's canopy is grown one small square at a time.
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_1789300134699_yjzw6fn","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
