Thanks I have no intention of "investing" in rubber.

I ask as my in-laws seem very haphazard in their tapping schedule. Even allowing for the "this is Thailand" spiel there seems to be a hundred and one reasons offered of which none, to me, are logical.

I see from your post on the first page that one should get a feel for the trees "capacity" and adjust accordingly. I see from the tapping schedule here a totally haphazard approach. Intermittent tapping, various aged trees tapped and leaving the plantation for a week or so with no tapping at all.

I am just trying to get my head around it. They wouldn't listen to my opinion anyway, I am just a bemused bystander.
