All of it: the words, the place, the proof
This stretch of the Zavala County courthouse square's shade trees has an open, mowed understory with none of the native shrub layer that would normally fill it, leaving less structure and food for South Texas brush-country wildlife right in the middle of town.
Fund it for $145. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. Confirm with county grounds staff whether the courthouse square understory planting has been addressed, then confirm the planting area is clear of any irrigation line or buried utility, and photograph the bare understory before planting.
- 2. Clear leaf litter and any invasive groundcover from the planting spots by hand without disturbing established shade-tree roots.
- 3. Plant a native shrub and small-tree understory mix suited to South Texas brush country at the design spacing.
- 4. Water in and mulch each planting; photograph the finished planting from the matching before vantage and record species and count.
What counts as done
- Written or recorded confirmation of the planting area from county grounds staff
- Before photo of the bare, mowed understory
- Native shrub/small-tree species and count recorded
- After photo of the finished, mulched planting from the matching vantage
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.
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_1789314083443_ov2q2ja","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
