Now you have to keep it dry so it will not go moldy.   lol  Good find all around.

Will be interesting to see what you get. 10-50mm pieces would put me off as I suspect it will be mostly in the 10-30mm range which isn't what I'm after and I think it said 'pine based' which probably means there is other stuff in there. Easy enough to sift through though, and you can always put the bits you don't want for modelling out on the flower bed  :D

The same firm does 10-30mm - that's why I went for this option. Hopefully I'll get lots of big bits!

I am also curious to see what arrives. "Pine bark based" means........what?

It means most of it will be pine nuggets but they may bulk it with other bark, stringy sections of pine or perhaps from other trees.

Its arrived and its useless. The bits are too tiny and its soaking wet too. Never mind, the wife has appropriated it for the garden!!
Back to the search again.....

Yes.

These look like the right bark chips.
