Welcome Mayuko, please tell us a little about you and your land, whereabouts you are and how much land you have.  Those details will help us if you are looking for help and advice about your project.  I am in Scotland and am in the process of retiring from keeping livestock.  Instead we are continuing to grow fruit, vegetable and herbs and to plant our grazing land with native trees.

My limited understanding is that you do not need the training certificates to buy the nuclear strength products, but you are supposed to have them too apply the product.


I think all chemical supplies need to see certs before selling .... ours certainly did

Pigs / Re: Pig nuts

Pig nuts ?! - I clicked on thread thinking this was going to be about Conopodium Majus (umbellifer with edible tuber). My father told me about these (he used to dig up as a child) but I've yet to try.  I think I might have some on the Fields though so will check them out next year perhaps. Anyway, good-luck with finding the other sort of pig nuts at a good price  :)

i'm in England too, but what I do when we have pigs is arrange a fixed price deal for the amount of feed I'll need for the duration with one of the local smallholder / agri merchants.  (In other words, online prices, or price per bag given over the phone, are a guide, but not what I generally pay.  I usually get 20% or more off the advertised ppb for the commitment.)
