If you’re not a farmer then you can do whatever you wantI don't accept BFP (or whatever they call it) for that reason.

Fines. It’s cheaper to enforce a deduction off sub thoughwhen they get rid of subs one day how will they enforce it then?
It won’t be the policeha ha like police, there none left!
no doubt they would have a special fund to send people out to check

You’ve questioned that and answered it all in one goNot strictly true; Section 8 of the regulations actually refers to 'person' so it would apply to anyone.
8.—(1) No person shall use a plant protection product authorised for professional use unless
they hold a specified certificate or work under supervision.
(2) No person shall cause or permit any other person to use a plant protection product authorised
for professional use unless the person using the product holds a specified certificate or works
under supervision.
Although it would be virtually impossible to enforce with 'Joe Public' as first the authorities would have to prove it was a 'plant protection product' being used (I'm just applying liquid fertiliser guv') and secondly the powers of entry in the regulations don't apply to 'any premises used wholly or mainly as a private dwelling' . So if you keep your Glyphosate in the kitchen they can't take a look.
It’s more of a money making thingOn a serious note, what is one learning for £170??? The safe handling side is covered in the PA1, so what is left to learn with a knapsack?
Calibration? A simple equation. Maintenance of said knapsack? What else is there to know?
@Brisel What did it entail?
Maybe Mr R Tractor??
The bit that I vacan understand is how would the weeds know if you have a ticket or not ?So to be clear: -
If I use a knapsack with a generic roundup product around the farm, I need a certificate?
But if I use my own in my garden, I don't?
Np grandfather rights anymore?
sorry i was referring to lack of police enforcement left due to cuts, thinking there would be no money left for them to pay people to enforce rules which are complied with essentially by bps.
Saying that we are wilfully shitting on our selves and paying for it in one respect with red tractor, and the rules we have to adhere to with that!! what can you do though?

Haha I wish I was in that position!Correct. Nor is it compulsory for farmers to accept sub if they don't want to be bothered with all the bureaucratic nonsense that goes with it.
