PA4 is to apply granular or pelleted pesticides. Fertiliser is not a pesticide.

I go to a farm where there are dozens of staff. They have a "Safe Stop" policy, whereby you have to stop your engine every time you leave the cab.
It's good to a point, but my spreader needs to be left running whilst loaded so that it can pump more air into the airbags to adjust for the increasing load. They wanted to press on with cultivating, I said I could just leave the lime on the headland and send them a bill for it if they wanted.
They saw sense. I don't get mithered any more. But I have a feeling the staff are all told to give me a wide berth!!
Or maybe I need different deodorant....

For the first time this year, the RT Gestapo took a rather keen interest in my elderly Vicon fert spreader.
You know what's coming folks.

Just hide it and tell them you spread fertiliser with a fiddle
That'll have to be calibrated/ tray tested/ MOT'd too........Just hide it and tell them you spread fertiliser with a fiddle

A small handful for 1 bag an acre, and a big handful for 2 bags an acre
Maybe they will test your gloves?

Or by hand , but if your right handed you can't apply it with your left hand only your right or vice versa .Just hide it and tell them you spread fertiliser with a fiddle
No need for a Pa4g or any other qualification to apply fertiliser currently so the consultant is talking out of his backside. As a few people on here are now aware of I am an instructor for Pa4g/s amongst other things so if the consultant doesn't believe you then feel free to send him in my direction.
There was talk about introducing a qualification for fertiliser application but nothing has ever come of it..........yet!

Go over his head, go to his bosses and tell them their consultant is incompetent, doesn't know his job as he's asking for qualifications that don't exist. If they put up any resistance challenge them to show you where there is a requirement to have such a qualification..............apart from in the little hitlers mind.
