In the last 3 days alone I've collected 115l from home bush and 39l from virgins...so desperately boiling to keep up. Thought I'd put the propane to work cause I got a new *universal* hose/adaptor, and guess what, of course it doesn't fit the propane burner. Grrrr....meantime sap staying outside on north side of house.
Never heard the moth thing before but I've been seeing them since last week. Must run.
