AmandaR Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I know that there aren't many chicken keepers around my area but I thought that someone may be interested in taking some wood chips off my hands to make or refresh their chicken run. I ordered 1/2 a cubic metre from a local tree surgeon who turned up today with a lorry load. It took a while before I realised that he wasn't going to stop tipping them until I shouted STOP! at the top of my voice Now I'm not one to turn away a free lunch so to speak but it is waaayyyy too much for us. I have spent the whole afternoon and evening shovelling them out of our front garden into the back (through the house as we are in a terrace with no side gate), have redone the chooks run and have 24 sacks full left over. They are all bagged up ready to go into someones car although a couple of bags have been contaminated with a bit of grass, from sweepng them up. If you are interested, you are welcome to as much as you like - just send me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaR Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 I should have mentioned that I am in Crawley, West Sussex and although spacial awareness isn't one of my strong points, we have several cubic metres avaliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I did just that one day - had a truck load from a tree surgeon on his way to the dump - i now have a 6 inch mulch on my front harden bed - no weeds seen for two years! my mum lent me her special backing hopper designed for filling bags with dry stuff you shovel in - so you don't have to have four hands to shovel and hold bag open Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
