All of it: the words, the place, the proof
The stand of coneflower and ironweed stems this park deliberately left standing through winter is now due for its spring cut, and cutting it the way the rest of the park gets cut -- flush to the ground with a string trimmer -- would remove the exact hollow stubs this season's stem-nesting bees are about to start using. Hand-cutting the stand to a graduated range of heights instead, tallest for the thickest stems, keeps usable nesting stubs standing while still clearing the bed for new growth.
Fund it for $90. 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. In early-to-mid spring before that season's new growth has taken over the bed, walk the marked stand and check any prior-year cut stubs for a plugged, capped end (mud, leaf-piece, or resin seal) -- a sign of an active occupant; do not disturb any stub showing a plugged end.
- 2. Cut this stand's standing dead stems to a graduated range of heights, roughly 8 to 24 inches from the ground, using hand pruners or loppers -- wider-diameter stems left taller, thinner stems cut shorter -- leaving hollow or pithy stubs standing rather than cutting to the ground or leaving the stand uncut.
- 3. Leave the cut stem tops loosely piled at the edge of the same bed rather than hauling them away or chipping them, since bees that were already using the cut portion may still need to emerge from it.
- 4. Check stubs left standing from two seasons prior; retire (cut flush and compost) only the ones showing no plugged or occupied ends, clearing space for this year's cut without disturbing anything still active.
- 5. Photograph the finished, graduated-height stand from the same before vantage and record the height range actually used.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the uncut winter stand
- After photo of the stand cut to graduated heights, with the height range recorded
- Confirmation that no plugged or active-looking stub was disturbed
- Confirmation that cut stem tops were left on-site rather than hauled away or chipped
- Confirmation that only stubs from two-plus seasons prior, showing no occupancy, were retired
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
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_1789706893254_uxrdm4o","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
