Pros: large excellent quality, great price, 90 ltr bags convenient to move & store.
Cons: none
"This is an excellent quality large bark.
A natural non chemically odour with nice texture & great to handle.
The current offer of 270 Ltrs for £13 is also way cheaper than a bulk bag surprisingly.
Equivalent to £48 per cubic meter.
I have purchased more top up bags for storage.
Prompt delivery and amazingly the delivery firm called to confirm delivery within a 3 hour time frame which they easily met.

"Lovely dark colour and it doesn't smell of chemicals like the other bark bags out on the market. The delivery driver was excellent too. Reversing down my narrow street with the huge truck was no mean feat but somehow he managed it. Really - don't even bother looking at the other bark bags, this one is just perfect. Proper wood and not twiggy at all. It was a lot cheaper too!"

Pros: great price, easy to lay, good quality
Cons: 90 ltr is a bit on the heavy side
"OK, so it's a case of tried the rest in the past, but for me I can honestly say that apart from the weight of each bag (90L is quite heavy and I'm getting on a bit!) the quality of the Bark is by far the best I've ever used, and I certainly highly recommend it."

"Have tried other Suppliers of Bark and found it to be either Too Large Lumps or even just a wooden mish mash of left-overs which was both Slimey and smellie, not this stuff for a change it was pretty uniform in size and a pleasure to handle, thats why I purchased 12 Bags."

Cons: difficult to get hold of this time of year
"My thanks to Wickes for finding these bark chips even though they were out of stock. Quality wise excellent with nice large chips that will not degrade too quickly. When I did the maths I was surprised to learn buying in bags worked out cheaper than a bulk purchase with the added advantage of the empty bags coming in handy for all sorts of things."
