klmpink Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hi everyone Apologies if I am posting in the wrong place, I have been using wood bark in the girls run and now the damp weather has set in it keeps going mouldy which is horrible for the girls (and a lot of work replacing it for me)! So I am taking the plunge and ordering some woodchip, I only need 5 bags but because the shipping costs are so much it makes more sense on a per bag basis to order 10, and either keep a stock of them or split them with someone else. So I thought I would see if there was anyone in the Surrey area who needs some WoodChip and would like to go halves on a batch with me? “Hens for Pets” offer bags of play grade hard wood chip in 70ltr (17kg) bags for £7.99 per bag so for 5 bags plus half the £30 shipping charge would be £55. I live near Worplesdon station which is between Surrey & Guilford and hopefully they will be available for collection next weekend the 19/20 November. If anyone is interested please get in touch Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkichick Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 http://www.lawnmowers4yourgarden.co.uk/mall/TFPInternational/ This is where we got our woodchip from. We live in hindhead the other side of Guildford. Bags of 70ltrs are £6 delivery about £7 in total. Very good value and smaller loads. Like yourself we didn't want a 'bulk bag' as it wouldd have been way to much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan08 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Live on the Wirral I am afraid, but having the same problem. I am persevering with the mud as my dad builds my WIR then going to lay a hard standing with Auboise and a "dustbath pond" set into it. You wouldn't think it would be so difficult, there are loads of people cutting trees down, there should be lots of it about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Try ringing a tree surgeon. They are sometimes happy to deliver it for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmpink Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thanks for the recommendations I did go ahead and get the bulk woodchip so if anyone sees this post and needs Woodchip please let me know. I have enough to last me several years so more than happy to pass on some bags if someone needs them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad hatter Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I live near maidstone and was wondering if anyone knew any good places to get relatively cheap wood chip for a 5m by about 3.5m run ? Also how deep do you make your woodchip and how often do you clean it out? Thanks for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
