    When the council do their tree pruning they sometimes leave the chippings for people to collect for nothing. It might be worth contacting your local council to see if there are any hedge clippings available. :)

    Lidl had them as a deal a week (maybe two) ago, don't know if they would still stock them as I don't know how their deals work.

    Last week we bought 6 bags from Wickes, they had an offer on - 3 bags for £12 (90L bags) which we thought was very good. We didn't find any cheaoer, don't know if the offer's still on though. Would be worth checking.

    How which bark do you need OP?

    It could be an idea to google bulk buying bark and see what comes up, if you are just after a couple of bags, what the others have said seems to be a good deal.

    Remember bark comes in many forms, the cheapest is not necessarily the best.
