Adam Pilgrim replied to Ian Stanton's discussion Glyphosate recommendations

"Just be aware that if you are applying 'chemicals for profit' you should technically be at least PA1/6 certified.
Albeit the risk to man/animal/environment is low doing what you describe.

Glyphosate recommendations

I am planning to apply some glyphostate into some gardens I work in. I am new to gardening and so don't have a legacy relationship with this herbicide, and am fairly new to the taboo nature of using it.Given the issues surrounding it, and what…

Billybop replied to Anthony Toop's discussion Changing from petrol KM to battery

"you're welcome.... forgot to take any AP200 with me today so was using an AP500S with the HLA135 which was heavier but not unmanageable...conversely might get away with using an AP100, which has fewer cells so would be under more strain to provide…"

"But for the extra cost, how much better actually is it, and if battery drain is the same or worse.... hard pass"

Anthony Toop replied to Anthony Toop's discussion Changing from petrol KM to battery

"For comparison the HLA 135 which is basically the same motor with hedge trimmer attachment, the run time is up to 39 mins with an AP 200. Which doesn't seem to bad, would you say that was fair?I don't mind buying another AP battery, possibly a 300s…"
