Pa1 pa2

[whindy]

Am I right in thinking that my pa1 /2 cover me for slug pelleter and knapsack. As I took them in 1988 and my number is in the 800s .l am having issues with crop assurance.

No. Knapsack is 6. Can’t remember what pellets are.

Have a look on your certificate, it's on there what you are covered for.
I did mine in 91 and I'm covered for both on PA1 and PA2A.

PA4S for slug pellets
PA4G for avadex

The original cert's used to cover pretty much everything but FA seem to be unhappy with them these days.

 

[Drillman]

The rules changed in the early 1990s. I took PA1-2 about 6 month before that so covers me for everything.

It’s on my bit of paper and nowt the assurance gestapo can do about it!

 

[milkloss]

The obvious answer is that you don’t use slug pellets and don’t own a knapsack sprayer.

Even better: Tell them to get fcked!

The first bit of your quote is my usual response to slug pellets and on occasion I’ve been very close to doing the 2nd part of your quote??

Think you should be ok with PA6
I was 1 year out so had to do separate PA6 last year did pa1 and 2 in mid 90s

Is it all about satisfying farm assurance? I am now retired and no longer have a farm, but I have a couple of paddocks attached to my house. I obtained PA1 & 2 in about 1988. Is PA6 relevant to me?

You dont have a knapsack, its a garden sprayer and you don't use it on the farm. Those weeds in the yard? Done em with watering can.

 

[Lazy Sod]

And if I did have a knapsack sprayer?

I don't have a farm. My 2 paddocks are not farmed, I just keep them regularly cut just for the look of it. Does a member of the public need a PA6?

Only if they are using professional pesticides and not stuff bought out of a garden centre or similar

It's the product you apply, not what you apply it with that determines whether you need PA6 or not.

Who would dare do such a heinous thing?

I thought recyling was the in thing. Why throw the garden centre bottle away when it can be recycled.

Neighbours always asking why the weeds in your garden die so much better than theirs?

 

[Exfarmer]

As I understand it, a gardener does not need tickets.
Further a company flogging pest control products, is under no obligation to sell product only to ticket holders.

Had to laugh at the red tractor inspector on that Mucky tv show who thought he was the bees knees for finding a bottle of something no longer on the list.

 

[Spotty Dog]

Tell them you do the yard with a lance on a bike sprayer. PA1 and 2 is ok for a bike sprayer. And you never use slug pellets
