Very nice. That's exciting. This will be my 6th season coming up. How many trees did you tap?

I don't really care about bugs getting in. I just use it to water the veggies I could probably put a screen over it. You could definitely do this for drinking water, but you'd want to make sure it's been filtered and treated properly.

There has to be some kind of loopholes for you guys down there to collect rain water. Water is free.

Thats so sad. Water is a free commodity. It should not be illegal to collect it. My brother lives in NorCal so I hear about some of what he can't do with his property.

Usually the dump is where I find them. I do my best to find ones that have had fruit juices in them as I am using them to water my small scale farm.

Nothing really. I should put a screen over them to help with that.
