It just might!

Thanks for watching. When this video was filmed we had already collected the last batch of syrup and boiled it down. The evaporator had been removed from the sugar shack for cleaning. We left the last 10 buckets on the tree so we could do a wrap up video.

@@GardenHands thanks. I'm sure others were also wondering. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for watching! We use an 1 hp centrifugal pump that works well for us.

Thanks so much! We put out about 400, give or take.

Thanks for watching. We can do a video on that!

I'm so glad you found the video! I had an amazing time with the Growing Kindness Project and highly recommend it! I know they've changed some things since the video, so I hope you can find an option that works for you! Thanks so much for watching.

Good luck - let us know how it goes!

We've been really happy with the CDL.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for watching. Have a great day too!

Thank you!!

It's 20 x 32 and there's a 6' porch on one side.

Thanks so much for the comment and watching!!

Agree! Wider brush would work just as well. And if I remember correctly she applied it a couple times and saw a reduction in the number of suckers that came back. Not a 100% solution.

Thanks for watching. I think they cook down what they can in the finishing pan over the arch and draw off about 5 gallons worth. Then they cook it down further on the stove. I've made a note to include that in the videos for next year!

Completely agree - that's half the fun! We have a group that comes out everyday the sap runs to collect. Hope you are having a good season! Thanks for watching

We're in Wisconsin. Thanks for watching.

Interesting how it's changed. We're pretty happy with the taste, much better than store bought. Thanks for watching.

He's pretty proud of his cart 😀 Thanks for watching

We'll save you a jar - thanks for watching!

Thanks Kris!

It's been an incredibly easy winter this year for us. We're in west-central WI, about an hour east of the Twin Cities.

I am stuck in Colorado but my sugar bush is in Vermont. I have an ag exemption which means I have to sugar no matter what. Plan is to move to Vermont full time. February has been cold. So no chance of tapping. The weather was good today but it’s getting cold again tomorrow. The states surrounding Vermont have had good early flows. Some in PA were even 2.5 percent flows. I may wind up waiting out this season. I can run about 3000 taps but I simply can’t get it done this year.

That's a great idea that we haven't tried yet. Thanks for sharing it, we may have to try that out the next time he gets chickens!

It's good to be back out there! Thanks for watching.

Welcome back! Keep it coming!

Thanks! We certainly will.

Thank you so much for watching and the kind comment!

It ran for a couple days and later this weekend looks good as well. Did you guys tap trees already?

There is a draft control knob/lever on the back of the chimney, not sure if it was in the video or not. It doesn't sound like we use it or change it too often though as most of the heat is used up before getting to the chimney. Thanks for watching.

Thanks from Ohio

Thanks for watching and subscribing Al. We'll definitely check out your channel. Having the concrete space has been really nice for several projects and storage. We're not too far east of the Twin Cities. Hope you're having a great day.

Let us know if you try birch, we haven't done that.

Haha, he just about does during syrup season.

It worked great, apparently they don't want light to germinate. But as soon as you start seeing green growth or the white roots growing put them under lights but not on a heat mat. Good luck and let us know how they do!

They did! They actually did quite well. The Blue Bi-Color had the best germination. The flowers were just as robust as the ones that started from a corm. Recommend it!

Yah, give it a try and let us know how it goes. We haven't tried a single barrel before.

The grandsons had a long day before the video and following the camera crew around wasn't the most fun for them. They much prefer running around in the woods collecting sap. Thanks for watching.

Mind your own business otherwise nice comment

Thanks - that sounds like a great idea.

We cover the holes after about 2 hours of burn time. Once you cover the holes the heat is retained and keeps heating it for a while. Once it cools down for at least 12 hours you check it and if it needs to burn more, you restart it. Make sure you cover the holes really well, pushing dirt against them. Good luck!

Good luck!

Good question. I believe the inner barrel lid was on quite loosely (not air tight) so there would be no chance of gas pressure building up.

Agree with @mtlefty8687, no there is not a chance of gas pressure building up.

We're happy you are too! Thanks for subscribing!!

I started one variety from seed and the rest were purchased corms or corms I saved from the previous year. The ones started from seed did just fine, although they take a bit longer to presprout.

It's a poured cement foundation and we don't have any insulation. There are battens on the siding which helped keep out quite a bit of wind, but on cool days without a fire going it's cold. Good luck!
