After a disappointing season with nonfunctional long lines (huge waste of time and energy), I went back to tapping old school - 1 line per tap, multiple taps per tree, 1 bucket per tree. Put 10 in today on some red maples, we'll see if this year sucks any less than last.
I didn't tap last year as I expected disappointment. With the weather this week I will probably put some taps in. Fingers crossed. Good luck
The taps ran hard when I put them in, like drip...drip...drip-drip....drip, and then later that night when I checked them, the buckets were all nearly empty. Today might be different.
