    Default tapping and then air pressure

    Have a chance to get some help to tap a little early, Has anyone put air pressure in there line so the trees don't run for a while and how much pressure should be put in the line? Thanks Vernon

    Thanks..it was just a thought. Instead of having it run on the ground I thought it might stay in the roots a couple more weeks and add a little more sugar content? Sometimes here in Nova Scotia the weather brakes up real early and 1% is not uncommon.
