mictogirl Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Title says it all really! Any suggestions? I've been to a DIY place (Focus) and a garden centre today, but they both only have bark chips rather than woodchips. The 'youth' at the garden centre looked at me totally blankly when I asked if they did them and had to go and check with his manager..... Is this something I might need to find a big pet shop for? I'm trying an equine feed place on Monday for some other chook bits and pieces - are they likely to have woodchips too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistachio Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I would advise looking in the yellow pages under tree surgeons and asking them for some of theirs. I used to get wood chippings from a tree surgeon for the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Our local tree surgeon only charges £10 for a huge trailer load of hardwood chips, delivered to the door!! Worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
