Stumps and Ivy to poison next to river - tickets needed? PA6AW PA6PP?

[William Clifford]

Hi,

 

I've got some undergrowth to remove next to a river. Small Ash, Buddleah growing out of brickwork, Ivy all over the brickwork etc. Not a big job but regrowth needs to be stopped.

 

I'm struggling to find someone with PA6AW which I would have thought is needed to apply herbicide to this growth right next to / over the waterway. Is this correct? If so, I need to find someone. Out of curiosity, my local training provider also advertises a ticket for PA6PP (eco plug) - is this ticket needed for using eco plugs either near to or not near to waterways?

 

Thanks.

Short answer is yes you do.

Ok thanks. Next post will be is there anyone around Nottingham with PA6AW?

 

So even eco-plugs in a domestic back garden away from waterways I need the ticket as it's herbicide and I'm applying it commercially? Whereas a homeowner wouldn't need the tickets..

This is my understanding. If people don't want a stump grinding to save money, I tell them to go to Wickes and buy SBK. Unless it's conifer of course...

Friendlier to add some ammonium sulfamate to aid composting the root.
