All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Collect a properly zoned, cored composite soil sample for an INTA RILSAV-network lab in Argentina. Growers guess at fertility and pH and either over-apply amendments or under-feed the soil for years. A properly zoned, correctly cored composite sample sent to a laboratory in INTA's own Red de Laboratorios de Suelo, Agua y Vegetal turns the guess into that lab's own calibrated report, this packet's entire job being sampling quality plus faithfully acting on THAT report.
Offer to pay $130. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
This is sampling and stewardship coaching only, never a soil-chemistry or nutrient-prescription service, and every amendment number comes from the lab's own report. Suspected contamination routes to the lab's own contaminant test or the nearest INTA extension office before growing food there.
The full safety list for this job:
- Contamination signs to watch for include old paint, treated wood, industrial history, or a busy roadside edible garden, same as the national def.
- A lab result the lab itself flags urgent routes to the nearest INTA extension office or the agronomist named on the report, never self-remediated beyond the lab's own instructions.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- soil probe or stainless trowel
- clean plastic bucket for compositing
- the lab's own sample bag and submission form
- permanent marker for labeling
- GPS-capable phone
- camera
Steps
- 1. Identify the sampling zone by planting use and history (vegetable bed, lawn, new bed) and keep zones separate rather than compositing across different uses.
- 2. Photograph the zone and record its GPS location before sampling.
- 3. Using a clean probe or trowel, pull 10 to 15 cores per zone at the depth the lab specifies (typically 0 to 6 inches for turf and garden beds), removing surface debris and mulch first.
- 4. Combine the cores from one zone in the clean bucket, break up clumps, and mix thoroughly to form one composite sample; discard rocks and roots.
- 5. Fill the lab's own sample bag to its stated line, label it with the zone name, date, and submitter contact, and complete the submission form exactly as the lab instructs.
- 6. Submit the sample with any required fee to the named land-grant lab (Penn State AASL, UMass Amherst, or the sampler's own state's land-grant lab) and record the submission date and any tracking number.
- 7. When the report returns, transcribe its pH and nutrient findings and its recommendation verbatim into the proof record; never substitute a packet-authored rate for the lab's own number.
- 8. If the zone is a food garden near a road, an old painted structure, or an industrial history, add the lab's lead/heavy-metal test option or contact the extension office for a contamination-specific protocol before growing food there.
What counts as done
- An INTA RILSAV-network laboratory named and its published sampling protocol followed: zoning by land use/history, core depth, number of cores, compositing method
- Submission completed accurately and the sample submitted with any required fee; submission date and tracking/order reference recorded
- Lab's own report attached, or its pH/nutrient findings and recommendation transcribed verbatim, in the language the lab issued it
- Any amendment or planting plan recorded strictly as the LAB's stated recommendation, never a packet-authored rate
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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
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
