You might be able to get a few bag's worth from them if you didn't want your drive covered in a lorry's worth of wood chips? xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106928977422765787.post-9063654560145339052014-01-29T20:28:59.121+00:002014-01-29T20:28:59.121+00:00Unfortunately.

Horrid.<br /><br />Primrose and Daisy do have bark chippings but they need replenishing, so a job for the weekend, CT. But I hadn't thought of getting them from a tree surgeon! Definitely one to explore, especially if they deliver. And yes, Lovely Warm Sunny Summer please, for all our sakes! Xxx<br /><br />Glad your hens are enjoying their watery explorations, Vera. And aren't they entertaining as they go about their digging and bug hunting?!

I...Thank goodness all your leaks have been seen to. It is not nice to see water dribbling anywhere it shouldn't be. <br />Yesterday our hens were paddling in the left over river water after the flooding of recent days. They looked very cute, up to their tummies they were, eating bits and pieces floating on the margins of the slowly receding water. And of course, with all this wetness, the earthworms are close to the surface everywhere, so our hens are having a great time hunting for them! Hope your hens do not cause to much mischief in your garden!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106928977422765787.post-79752138095231028742014-01-29T08:32:42.730+00:002014-01-29T08:32:42.730+00:00See?

Hopefully to be followed later in the year by a Time Of Sun so the moth and butterfly populations (amongst others) benefit and recover.<br />We get wood chips delivered from the local tree surgeon and put those down in the girl's run- no muddy feet and plenty of spaces to search for insects in. Worth a try?
