[/quote]Cant answer for Asdas but I got mine here which may be better for you if you need this amount - http://www.grasslandsturf.co.uk/plum-slate-40mm-bulk-bag.html - they also do 20mm

do they still sell these slate chippings as I can not find any on their sites

Does anyone know how much a bag covers in square m?

In my local, Inverness, the slate ones are £3.78 each per bag, but the yellow smaller ones are 3 for £10. Still, 3 bags for £11 is OK.

I needed a lot and looked around on the internet - got 1000kg delivered for £97, much cheaper than buying the small bags from Asda etc. Grasslands Turf for anyone interested.

Gave up on bark half of it blew away anyhow also the amount of spiders, ants and woodlice that used it as a personal home was insane and the snails can't forget about them !

These look great but been thinking of getting these to cover some odd places and some turf but I wonder does weeds and grass still grow on top?

I want some of that rubber bark you mix with resin - looks great and can't be kicked about. Shame no-one does it ready mixed sheets

I imagine this is worse than bark when the local cats/squirrels/birds kick it into your lawn and then you go over it with the mower :neutral_face:

This stuff safe for use as a cheap driveway? Been wanting to get rid of the grass on the front garden and turn it in to a drive but tarmacing is just too expensive...

it does , resin with pea shingle looks quite nice

The slate does look a lot better though, just need to get digging!

cheaper option could be pea shingle , £30 a bag or even less loose

Having used bark in the garden for the kids play area it is ok for one summer then it gets a bit mucky and needs replacing. I think the slate looks great and will certainly be a lot cleaner.

im guessing 'yes' but is slate better then using tree bark? Reason being i heard u get woodlice with bark.

I've cleaned out my garden and to stop weeds i am going to put weed control fabric but what on top?

I hope it is as I am thinking of extending my drive using either the blue or purple slate not sure which colour yet.
I need to dig out yet and put some hard core down and do the rest of the prep work so I am in no rush but just checking how much the whole project will cost!

they all say that , it wont be though

I think these bags in asda are 25kgs not the smaller 20kg that home bargains sell so are a better buy. Whole pallet full at asda West Swindon at 10:00 this morning

Drive up to Snowdonia. They have 3 Billion tonnes of the stuff that they are trying to get rid of on the cheap. :-)

Be aware this is quite coarse/chunky compared to the £6/7 bags of blue slate in B&Q. B&Q do stuff the same as this at £4 a bag. This is a great deal, but be sure it is the stuff you need if you are mixing from different sources.

this has been at asda for weeks now, you can mix and match with the cotswold bags too. same price/offer.

Bought some a few weeks ago - looks lovely in front garden

£2.75 a bag in my local B&M (selby) and they have loads of different types and plenty of stock.

slate sells out as sopn as it's unloaded. the nice Coltswold stone chippings are available more readily :-)

Went to get them from B and M first, but had none in the Cambridge store.

Heat added. 3 for £10 at B&M which is more of course but they have a very large range of aggregates, including plum slate (my personal favourite, looks amazing when wet) and limestone chippings etc.

will check tomorrow, been looking for these!

Yup, seen in Stafford.
