woodchip for play areas?
Does anyone know where to get large quantities of 'playbark' from? I used the company https://www.woodchips.co.uk last year - their website is still up but when I phoned them they said they don't do it anymore! I can't use normal woodchip before anyone suggests that, it has to be qualified playchip. Thanks all in advance!
