Spending evening for final preps to collect sap. Convert at Woodhouse to attach sap tank. Get ready to buy traditional maple syrup with bitcoin. #maplesyrup #homestead #bitcoin #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/d9baea10511f764ced150066cc09340d7319978bed398ce07de802ff619e6f8b.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/wDxzN41.jpeg Maple sugaring supplies are all packed up till next season. Lots of downsides to using buckets, one being where to store them. But they are accessible and useful if sugar making doesn't work out. Will probably expand with bags moving forward. https://i.imgur.com/DbAdlqe.jpeg Ended up with about 4 gallons surplus syrup to sell and am nearly sold out already. Thanks to the plebs at the Michigan Bitcoin meetups for the support! Looks like I have to double the number of taps yet again next season. https://i.imgur.com/RXVcO2G.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/b9ud6ob.jpeg Got a little discouraged when I let my reverse osmosis system freeze and it was destroyed. It was a good excuse to upgrade to a larger system though. This new filter has 4x more capacity than the previous system and will handle all the possible potential sap flow capacity here on the homestead as more trees get large enough to tap. All in all another successful sugaring season but not without it's failures and setbacks. #permaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #regenag #regenerativeagriculture #maplesyrup #bitcoinmeetup #circulareconony #sugarfromtrees #forestfarming #woodlandagriculture #theproblemisthesolution
