Jennyhenny Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yolky The woodchip was £4.98 per bag from B & Q , we bought 4 to sit the eglu on I'm hoping we have enough, don't mind if have too much as it will come in handy. I have my camera batteries on charge ready, will take plenty of photos Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 HI I went to Wickes today and paid 11.75 for 3 x 90 litre sacks of wood bark(its the big chunky stuff)..I was buying some wood so it was convenient. B&Q chip seems popular so i may need to have a look at that. the 90 litre bags were heavy ..i managed to attract a kind gentlemen to help me put them on the trolley(damsel in distress ) And asked Wickes for help to put them in the car..blooming heavy things. I love hearing about all these new arrivals (obviously green) indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyhenny Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Indie999 Mine were 56 litre bags, from what Ive read on the forum woodchip seems to last longer than bark chip - no expert though because my girls dont arrive til TODAY yey Never been up so early at a weekend - I'm watching the clock go round but it isn't going round quick enough Jennyhenny P.S. Camera ready to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Yep the bark is HEAVY!! Another reason why I much preferred Wood chips, it lasts longer, dries out and I can lift the bags myself lol! Excited for you and your delivery. Will check back in a bit for the pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Are they there yet? Are they there yet? It's supposed to be brighter weather later - not that you'll care a bit, but it reduces the chances of hypothermia and makes for better photos!

Chickvic Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Have they arrived yet? I must admit mine turned up early - about 8.30am instead of between 9 and 10. They phoned first to check it was ok and I was so relieved - I'd been up since the crack of dawn, dived into the shower and spent the rest of the time pacing around looking at all the clocks in the house!
