I only wanted a couple of bags to top up my existing slate, wouldn't have recommended buying like this if you were after huge amounts but not all of us need a tonne or more ;-)
anyone bought these yet. wondering how much coverage per bag

Similar to the bags at Asda,
Just bought 30 bags from Asda @ 3 bags for £9.
Doesn't go far though, maybe 4 or 5 bags per m2.

You could probably get away with 3 bags per m2, but I wanted it heavy and to cover the membrane (£3.99 for 10m2 from Aldi or was it Lidl).
I used my car, so 6 bags max per visit. Asda is very near luckily, but a shame they wouldn't deliver!

works out at £150 per tonne so if you need a large area covering best buy a tonne from builders merchants last time I checked it was around £70 per tonne ish.

correction its £38 for half tonne and £52 per tonne at delivered by local builders merchants hope this helps, making this triple the price so cold from me.

Absolutely nowhere in the UK is there a builders merchant selling slate for £52 a ton!

dont go for the smaller rock chippings as it will just become a massive kitty litter for all the local cats
looking to replace my gravel for just this reason

We used Cotswold chipping for exactly this reason. The stones are bigger and heavier and not been used by cats yet, (although we also are using the cat repellent sensor thingy too)
