Does anyone know who has the best offer on Decoartive Bark Mulch?

I can't seem to find any on the nursery web sites

TIA

i found that the bark from wickes didnt last that long before sort of evaporating away - also, there was lots of muck in it and not much bark....but, i found tommy topsoil (website same name) and ordered some from there and their's is still looking new in my garden 2 years down the line...my price list for this year says;ornamental bark - 80 litre bag - £4.50 or £6.00 delivered but, there are other cheaper ones if you look at the site...you can also have it delivered by the wagon load which works out cheaper...

Bumppity bump. Anyone know what's best ATM?

So far I've found B&Q the cheapest @ 4.2p/L for the normal stuff and 3.8p/litre for the value one (4 x 65L for £10).

Focus came in at 4p/L with their 3 for 2 offer, but our local Focus is closing down so they'd run out.

Online bulk-buy places (i.e. Rolawn 1 cubic metre bags) seem to be massively expensive at £70-£85/bag (I make that 7p/L if they fill it to the top). Perhaps, as magoogy says, it does last longer. Couldn't find the lorry price, so Tommy's cheapest was still 6.5p/L

Even our local woodland wasn't cheap @ 4.4p/L with self-fill. Great if you wanted woodshavings though at 2.4p/L, but we didn't.

Anyway we need a lot of the stuff (about 2000 litres), which is why I'm getting anal about those pennies.

EDIT: B&Q value stuff is fine, but for 0.4p/litre more the normal stuff is much better looking.
