Every year around this time, we get out our milk jugs, wash them thoroughly and put them up on some maple trees to collect maple sap. Here is the process of putting them up!

Step 1: Drill holes in the caps of the milk jugs, put the spiles through the holes, and tie a string around the handle of the milk jug.

Step 2: Drill a hole in the trunk of the tree.

Step 3: Gently tap the spile into the tree.

Step 4: Put the string around the spile to keep the jug up. And you’re done! Wait…

Of course you have to have some fun…and take a group picture! 🙂

All Done. Now we have to check them every day! 🙁
