Coverage depends on the depth of the chippings; a 20kg bag typically covers approximately 0.25 to 0.5 square meters at a depth of 5cm.

Are these chippings safe for pets?

Yes, these chippings are generally safe for pets. However, avoid ingestion and monitor the area for any issues.

Can I use these chippings in a vegetable garden?

How do I calculate how many chippings I need?

Measure the length and width of the area, then multiply these figures to get the area in square meters. Then, consider the desired depth of the chippings to estimate the volume.

Will the color of the chippings fade over time?
