Figured I'd show off the LLM/RAG bot from our group chat with a question that is pretty relevant right now. If you want to test it out and help me finetune with real user questions hop in the chat and ask it. It does not offer any answers that are not grounded in the massive book library I fed it from this channel.

Our livestock are drawn to the very pioneer plants most were taught to remove.
What has long been mislabelled as “weeds” are often some of the most nutrient-dense, medicinal, and highly intelligent plants in our landscapes.
Animals were never meant to graze on grass alone. In natural systems, they move through diverse environments filled with an abundance of herbs, shrubs, and local trees, selecting what their bodies need in each moment.
Landscapes are meant to be diverse, layered, textured, and alive, a beautiful mosaic of grasses, wildflowers, shrubs, and canopy.
When land is stripped back into a single layer, we remove not only biodiversity of plant life, but we take away the choice, nourishment, and resilience needed for animals, soil life and us.
Like us, animals and plants thrive in environments that offer variety, stimulation, and freedom to self-select.
We want to support the right to browse, reach and intuitively explore. To bring back animal participation in the healing of the land.
So instead of removing what arises, can we begin to ask:
What is this plant offering? What role is it playing above and below the ground?
A diverse pasture is more regenerative, resilient, more nourishing, and aligned with life.
Keep supporting diversity as you welcome the wild back and let your local landscape return to fullness, for your animals, your soil and yourselves.

Simple fire starter.
Other materials may also be used with adapted methods. Keep in mind that the two ends may become very hot, hence the wider ends over the terminals.

Ticks are repelled by plants with strong scents or specific chemical compounds that overwhelm their sensory receptors or are toxic to them. The most effective plants include Lavender, which contains linalool to disrupt tick nervous systems; Chrysanthemums and Marigolds, which contain pyrethrin, a natural insecticide; and Wormwood, which uses the bitter compound absinthin to deter both ticks and their hosts.
Other highly effective tick-repelling plants include:
Rosemary and Thyme: Aromatic herbs whose strong oils mask host scents and repel pests.
Mint and Lemongrass: Produce potent scents like menthol and citronella that confuse tick navigation.
Garlic: Its sulfur compounds create an environment ticks find unappealing.
Geraniums: Contain geraniol, though they are toxic to pets and should be used with caution.
Catnip: Fast-growing and effective at repelling ticks and mosquitoes.
Bee Balm and Mountain Mint: Native options that support pollinators while deterring ticks.
