-===== Start plotting =====
-Identify which drive you want to do the plotting on.
-<WRAP important>
-**WARNING:**  It is not a good idea to do this on the drive that your boot lives on.

-<code bash>
-cd chia-blockchain
-. ./activate

-The simplest command to get started with running a plot.
-<code>
-# k = 32, this controls the size of plot. Minimum is 32
-# n = 100, Number of plots, pick a high number
-# t = folder location, this is where the plot gets generated with heavy Reads/Writes. You want this to be a faster drive.
-# d = destination folder, this is the destination for where you want the final plot will stay, slower is fine.chia plots create -k 32 -n 100 -t /mnt/a/generating_plots/ -d /mnt/a/plots/
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  To disconnect from tmux, ctrl-b then d. To reattach, tmux a -t plot

-This it! You are now generating plots.
-As soon as a plot finishes, the farmer that we started earlier will pick it up and start farming.

-===== Verify that farming is working =====
-Verify this you can run while having the venv activated:
-<code bash>
-chia farm summary
