CharLeila Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Morning, I am replacing the horrible bark I put down in my run with some hardwood chips from B and Q. They come in 56ltr bags but it doesn't say anything about how much that will cover. The area I have to cover is either 18' x 10' or 12' x 10' depending on cost. Does anyone know how many I would need for a decent depth? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelbel Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I used 1 for my 6'6" x 3 run. So I'd say you need 5 for the larger area or 4 for the smaller - better to be a bit generous than a bit stingey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 We bought 5 bags of the softwood chips from B&Q for our 12ft by 6ft area. We put down 4 at first and put another bag down after we had done a bit of a change around and made the area a bit larger. It is quite thick, but the hens do still manage to get down to the slabs underneath in no time so we are always raking it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
