Just a wee update on Grazon 90. I spoke to my local Feed Merchants who supply me and many others with this product about the licensing……In mid 1990 the law was reviewed and they drew a line that anyone born before 31 December 1964 doesn't require a certificate of competence to spray with the product……Anyone born after this date does require a certificate of competence or be supervised by someone that does hold a certificate..Have to say they were really informative and phoned all the appropriate company's to confirm the information was correct and today I received the Grazon handbook confirming all the above information.
What they did say was that they are legally able to sell to anyone over the age of 16 and it was for the purchaser to then take responsibility spraying….Incidentally they did say how popular the sales of Grazon 90 were and most folk indifferent of age didn't have a licence but then who checks, but then I knew that.
Only posting this info back so others like me can understand the pros and cons and make up their own minds. I know it's a very personal choice using weed control and I understand we all have our own ways but then that's where choice comes in. I will continue to use it I'm now legal by a year
Regarding paddock care I would be interested to know what technique's people use to maintain it without using a product like Grazon 90 so that it provides good quality grazing, and a feed crop?…..Just for reference I do weed the veg plot and garden by hand
