All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Water every young street tree and planted strip along the Pershing Square revitalization build and log the round. New trees and native strips on Hill Street between 5th and 6th Streets, 5th Street at the park edge, and Olive Street along the first phase live or die on the weekly deep watering they get in their first years. Give each tree a slow deep soak at its basin, check the mulch ring stays off the trunk, pull weeds, and note any tree that is dry, staked too tight, broken or dead. A dead tree or a broken stake is filed on MyLA311, the City of Los Angeles service request line, and Metro's 24-hour project hotline with the reference number, not replaced on the spot.
Fund it for $80. 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.
Bring
- GPS-capable phone
- camera
- round-point shovel + digging fork
- hand pruners
- mulch (wood chips) + measuring stick
- watering can or hose
- gloves + closed-toe boots
Steps
- 1. Confirm the planting spot is inside the posting radius and clear of marked utilities (811 locate honored); record the GPS waypoint.
- 2. Photograph the bare site and the nursery stock (label/species visible) before planting.
- 3. Dig the hole 2-3x the root-ball width and no deeper than the root ball, so the root flare will sit at or just above grade.
- 4. Remove the container or cut away burlap/wire, gently loosen circling roots, and set the tree with the root flare visible at grade.
- 5. Backfill with the native soil in layers, firming out air pockets; do not bury the root flare or amend heavily.
- 6. Build a shallow watering basin, water in slowly until the backfill is saturated, and apply 2-3 inches of mulch kept 3 inches off the trunk.
- 7. Stake only if the tree cannot stand on its own; use two loose ties that allow trunk movement, and note a removal date within one year.
- 8. Record species, GPS, before/after photos, root-flare-at-grade confirmation, mulch depth, and water applied into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- A dated round log listing every tree and planted strip watered, with the water applied and the time
- Representative basin photos before and after at three or more points, each with GPS
- Any dry, broken, over-tight stake or dead tree noted and filed on the city's line with the reference number
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_1790726255663_hugxdsn","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: permit-required. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
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
