Based on the new info about old plastic reducing late season flow, I am trying to use new droplines & spouts when adding new taps. But my old waterloo blue ribbed tubing, old green berliner and US maple tubing still runs great and give me more than enough sap.

When I do replace a section of tubing, I often just lug the old tubing higher up the mountain and use it to hook up the straggler trees that are not cost-effective to tap with new plastic. I guess I have the luxury of having more trees than I need for my one-man operation.

They call it hoarding.Sounds like a class two to me.I hauled home the old milk lines from work the other day so I am in the same boat.

But it's only hoarding if I can see it from the house.

Ken, you tap yet? Seems like you are a few degrees colder than me. (i haven't tapped yet)
