kissinuk Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Can anyone recommend stockists of wood chips? Struggling to find any in local garden centres (Northants). Bark everywhere but no chips... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Leia Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 We had the same problem, could only find bark or softwood. Someone suggested trying local tree surgeons - that did the trick. They had plenty of hardwood chippings available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I bought some from flytesofancy online. They're expensive but we're delivered quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I would also suggest asking your local tree surgeon The chap who took some trees down for us offered to drop some off for free if we ever need any, I assume they have to pay to dispose so it probably suits them to do this.

ZoeBunny Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I order mine from Bark-UK online. The more you buy the cheaper it get so I usually get enough bags to do me for a year at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 B&Q sell it in their bigger stores, but do check availability, just in case!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 My supplier has a massive pile, which they bag up and sell - there was new stuff being delivered when I swung by at the weekend. Don't hold me to this, but I think the sign said £6.50 per sack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissinuk Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Was about to give up and order from FoF, however at the weekend we spotted a huge pile of chips in the car park of a local country park... I contacted them and they said I could have a couple of bags for free or more if I donated to their volunteer run shop. So I donated £10 this morning and got told to fill 5 big garden bags! Some of the chips in the middle of the pile were starting to compost, but the stuff near the top was perfect. Won't name them here, but if you're in the North Northants area and want more info PM me.
