After 26 November 2015, even old gits won't be able to buy concentrated
pesticides/herbicides.
Eg Roundup.
Might be the time now to stock up. Beat the rush nearer the date.

Yeah, I read about that elsewhere, seems a bit unnecessary to cancel
rights that will die out as the people born before the relevant date
themselves do. The whole point of "grandfather rights" being to not
take rights away from anyone, but to avoid granting them to anyone else.

This is aimed at users of crop protection products likely to end up in
the food chain.

This is my last year of legal spraying. I can still purchase product for
use by others who have met the training requirements.

Addendum:-)

Regular independent testing of crop spray equipment will become
mandatory. Currently this is only required for members of the various
crop accreditation schemes.

What problem is all this ******** intended to solve?

Precautionary only.

There has been a voluntary scheme for training sprayer operators in
place for some time. This simply makes it illegal to operate spray
equipment without the required certification. (Even knapsacks!)

I have not heard anything about extending this to *garden use* sprays or
equipment.

Makes some sense when you think that a ready to harvest wheat crop could
be sprayed with a hormone weedkiller when the operator was meant to use
Roundup. Ignoring the dilution between farm and end use, this could end
up in your McVities Hob nobs:-)

(And is it true that one will not be able to buy concentrated glyphosate
any more? The last time I bought some, no-one asked me how old I was or
what it was for. Mind you, I got a bit carried away and now have enough to
last me the rest of my life.)
