Untreated wood shavings, mulch, or sawdust
I'm doing some gardening and have run out of wood mulch as the place I usually get some is not open. Happy to take coarse stuff from landscaping companies, or bits from woodturning, sawmilling, etc. As long as it's untreated timber (not pink/green wood or stuff with paint/plastic in it), I'd be interested!
If you have some or know someone who does, let me know--also let me know any costs to deliver (would prefer this option as I don't have a ute/trailer, but can pick up).
