All of it: the words, the place, the proof

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 the balcony or patio's sun exposure in hours of direct light with the resident, and match crop choice to it -- leafy greens and herbs for part shade, tomatoes or peppers for full sun.
- 2. Select food-grade containers sized to the chosen crop's root depth, and drill drainage holes in the containers only, never the balcony floor.
- 3. Fill with a tested, known-clean potting mix -- never bagged native soil of unknown history -- and plant or seed at the recommended spacing.
- 4. Set up a simple hand-watering routine (watering can or drip-from-a-jug, no plumbed line into the unit) and water in the first planting.
- 5. Arrange the containers clear of the walking path and egress, and photograph the bare balcony before and the planted containers after.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the bare balcony or patio
- Confirmation of a tested, known-clean potting mix source, not bagged native soil
- Photo of drainage holes in the containers only
- After photo of the planted containers, clear of the walking path and egress
- Confirmation every container and its watering setup leaves with the resident at move-out
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Edible Garden Cultivation. Edible garden cultivation is food growing done to the standards the land-grant universities have refined for a century: healthy soil in tested beds, the right crop in the right season, hand tools, patience, and records. Mastery looks like a Master Gardener's plot, beds that feed a family most of the year from a piece of ground the size of a parking space. Every gardener who reaches that point started with a single bed and a single season. This packet is that start: one bed built or tended properly, one honest note about what happened.
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_1789887037241_fu3scbn","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
