All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Plant a small orchard of dwarf fruit trees in the schoolyard's bare corner at the Adams Blvd corridor, West Adams, Los Angeles, CA 90018. It is paved and fenced with no shade and no food-bearing planting at all. Alongside the new raised bed, right-sized stock gives students a multi-year growing project and puts real food in reach of the neighborhood's own kids. For the payer: - Price: $560 per job, counted in fruit trees planted. - Likely payer: A grant-funded nonprofit crew (LA Conservation Corps, LANI, Clean California or CAL FIRE grants), or the site's host. - No license is needed while the whole job, labor and materials together, stays under $1,000 (Business and Professions Code section 7048); at $1,000 or more, a CSLB C-27 Landscaping license.
Offer to pay $560. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Start after the crew's safety orientation. The employer provides drinking water, shade and cool-down rests, and N95 masks when wildfire smoke puts the AQI at 151 or more. No other special training is needed. Stop, do not dig, and reschedule for an unmarked or suspected buried utility or no honored 811 locate; never plant dry, circling-rooted or wounded stock; get school-administration consent and schedule outside class hours first; wear safety-toe boots and leather gloves.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: safety-toe boots for root balls and stakes of 50 pounds or more that can drop; leather gloves for rough bark, stakes and ties.
- Wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
- Heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
- Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Obtain the school's or site host's written scope for this orchard planting before work (the trees, the spots, the date, and who waters them) and, if a crew or grantee sent you, its work order. Get the site host's or agency's written consent to work there too. Write what you got at the top of your proof. With no written scope, stop.
- Confirm with the school administration a planting time outside class hours, and check that the 811 locate marks are in place and the planting spots are clear of them.
- Photograph the bare corner as found from a fixed vantage.
- Mark each tree spot at the spacing that suits the dwarf species and the corner's sun exposure, record a GPS waypoint for each, and log species and spacing.
- Look over each tree's roots and trunk and set aside any stock that is dry, circling-rooted or wounded.
- Dig each planting hole by hand wide enough for the roots, set the tree with its root flare at ground level, and firm the soil around it.
- Form a watering basin around each tree and water it in.
- Spread mulch 2 to 3 inches deep around each tree, held back from the trunk.
- Photograph the planted orchard from the before vantage and submit the GPS, species and spacing log, and mulch and basin confirmation.
What counts as done
- GPS waypoint per planted tree inside the posting radius on utility-cleared ground
- Before photo of the bare corner + after photo of the planted orchard from matching vantage
- Dwarf fruit-tree species and spacing log matched to the schoolyard's sun exposure
- Mulch applied 2-3 inches deep and held off each trunk, with a watering basin formed and watered in per tree
- Scope: the school's or site host's written scope for this orchard planting, and the work order of any crew or grantee that sent you, dated before the first photo.
- Site consent: the site host's or agency's written consent to work there, dated before the first photo.
- Sign-off: the site host or steward, or the supervisor of the crew of record, signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Photos: take the before photo and the after photo from the same point (stand where the first one was taken and match its frame), each with its GPS point and its date and time.
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, 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
