Looking for a good quality rubber chipping product?

Hi everyone

Does anyone know of a company that sells a good quality rubber chipping product that I can use for the children's play area. My wife also wants some for her plants

Thanks for looking

Gerry

    Why put rubber clippings round plants? I am not sure exactly the regulations but there are problems with disposal of rubber clippings, its an issue we are being warned about looking for manège surfaces.


    For a play area personally, rather than have it end up as soft squelchy cat litter ( bearing in Ming the particular risk of cat faeces to infants and the allure of scratch able surfaces to cats). I'd look at rubber matting, pavers, or outdoor grade pourable rubber.

    I agree with lostinrates.

    Farmers are no longer allowed to bury tyres, so why they become 'acceptable' when shredded, beats me. I have seen shreddings advertised as chicken run surfacing, but no way would I want them in that context, or any other.
