Brilliant. thankyou very much to everyone for the help. Going to look into getting the whole lot (sprayer, ppe, etc) in the next few weeks. Thanks again.

On a sidenote, what is the cheapest storage solution to hold 2x5ltr of roundup/gallup360 Many thanks,

Many thanks Rich for the information. I'll definately look into the gallop 360. In your opinion is it worth me NRoSO registered if it's not required? I'll wait for the certificate and check out the nearest agri suppliers. Many thanks again.

Hello all, Yesterday I passed my PA6, and passed my PA1 a week beforehand. Which I was well happy about. I done the course mainly to use roundup on pavements etc. I have my own business (2yrs nw). However I've been left with a few questions that as I work for myself (and not someone else) I don't feel I got answered.. so here goes... 1a) So when I get the certificate (PA6) - do I register straight away with NRoSO National Register of Sprayer Operators - is this compulsary? (I believe it is), 1b) and when I have done this am I know fully licenced to use pesticides... or is there any other agency I have to register with? ---- 2a) Where do I buy the actual Glyphosate (roundup) concentrate? what volumes can you buy it in? Most of what I have seen looks to be home use stuff (spray straight away sort of job, no mixing etc). 2b)when purchasing pesticides, do I have to show the certificate? ---- 3) As I will not be using a lot of the stuff, can someone point my in the right direction of a cheap travel storage bin to hold 2/3 bottles of roundup concentrate. 4) How do I go about finding the best pesticide for a job? is this in the blue book? I think thats all. The courses (PA1 + PA6) were very useful. It just didnt seem to give me enough information in regards to where to get it from, and not a lot of information on what pesticides to use and when. Is there other courses that elaborate on this? many thanks, berkshire_boy
