> 3 dayAfter raking leaves from my maple trees every fall, I finally decided to get something in return from them. I bought these a month ago and this past weekend I finally tapped my trees. I used a 1/4 drill bit and drilled into the trees just a little deeper than the tree-side of the taps. For each tap I ran a plastic tube into a cleaned-out 1-5 liter orange juice container. (Drill a hole into the lid to fit the tube.) I came home from work yesterday to about two quarts of sap. Ill continue collecting throughout the week and will boil down into syrup this weekend. Assuming a 40:1 ratio of sap to syrup, Ill get about 8 ounces....a small amount, but satisfying to know that I have created maple syrup on my own. Next year Ill tap at a more optimum time in the season to increase the yield.

> 3 dayWasnt sure how well these would turn out but when they arrived they were much sturdier and more heavy-duty than I thought. I tapped 2 Maple trees with two Taps on each tree and got more than enough syrup for myself and even gave some away. All I needed was a drill to get into the tree. Came out with a hammer to pry with and will probably order more for next season.
