@biggarlogs Thanks for the comment, will seed germinate in contaminated round up soil?

Thanks Jake, would you recommend using top soil when re seeding or just seed the dead areas?

Hello all,

Would like some advice off some qualified landscapers.

I was spraying for weeds few weeks back around my patio & some of the roundup has drifted onto my lawn which is dead its not worth taking it up to re turf it, what I would like to ask would it be possible if i re seeded the dead areas?

Thanks all.

Hello all,

Just a few questions to ask if that's ok.

I'm looking into doing the Chainsaw NPTC Level 2 Award Maintenance and Cross-cutting (units 201 & 202 - formerly CS30) in a few months time and was wondering would it be best to study and books on chainsaw safety ect? Before booking in for the course as I am a slow learner when it comes to class room work and not very good with exam - tests. What dose the nptc examiners look for in the Test? Is there a score system ect or is it like a driving test I.e as long as you can show them you are safe?

Thanks

Hello Hope everyone is well.

I have been in the Green Keeping industry for at least 3 years now. i done my PA1 first to see if i could get through it because i do have dyslexia and didn't think i would pass the PA1, But i was wrong i did pass first go .

I have my PA6 next month and really worrying about, I would like everyone's experience on this what dose the NPTC examiner look for when he is testing you and is there a pass or fail percentage rate?

What sort of things will i learn on my training ect.

All Comments will be very appreciated

Tommy

Hey all,

I recently passed my PA1 about 2 days ago, well pleased was going to do PA6 with it but thought ill see if I could pass pa1 first as you can't take 6 until you have done 1.

I have a Question that I would like to ask, Because PA2 is Boom Spraying for tractor and quad bike spraying, because they have bigger tanks do you still have to take a separate test for the PA6 or do you get the PA6 when you pass the PA2 if that makes sense ??

Best regards

Tom

But I'm worrying about doing my PA1 cause all of the paperwork Ect. I'm I'm not daft . Do you think I should go for it??

Hello I'm wondereing dose anyone no if anyone sells books for the Informaion on the PA1/PA6? So I could revise on it before booking it? Or would anyone have any books or booklets they have that they don't need, any Informaion would be very useful!
