charly1979 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Im in the Bath area and trying to find somewhere to get some wood chippings to go in my girls run theres is getting rather muddy etc and ive seen lots of peoples pictures with lovey wood chippings. I have read somewhere that bark chippings arent as good due to mould developing on them ? Any help would be great Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Try ringing round a few local tree surgeons. There is one local to me who delivers me a tipper truck load for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heth1986 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Ditto, tree surgeons in my area are very willing to deliver a load onto my drive way, it means wheelbarrowing it all up to the right place but it always smells lovely as it's usually fruit trees and lasts so much longer than the stuff you buy in bags!

Cheeky Chooky Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 As long as you use Hardwood Wood Chips rather than Bark, your chooks will be fine I buy mine from Flyte So Fancy...they're great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charly1979 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thanks guys I shall have to be extra nice to my cousin as he is a tree surgeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Ideal - I am sure he would be willing to let you have some. The tree surgeon I get my wood chips from is only too willing to let me have them as it saves him having to dispose of them (I think he has to pay). I usually have to wait a few weeks until he's going past my door, but I don't mind that. If he's letting me have them for free I can't expect him to go out of his way especially to deliver them to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
