Pine Bark Nuggets in the UK

[Si Tyler]

Does anyone know of a decent stockist for bark nuggets in the UK.  I want them for some cheap rocky outcrops but all I can find are the mulch type bags from the DIY stores

Modelshops generally stock some scenic bark, but not very cheap I must admit. Go to your local play area and 'acquire' some bark chippings for free .

Yes, Woodland Scenics do packets of bark for rocks. Hideously expensive, though.

My partner has got to know the look In get on my face when out when I find something that might be useful in a wargames context. I get a sharp NO! before I have managed to pilfer whatever it is.

I am not allowed anywhere near the free pencils in Ikea. My excuse is I am just being polite- There is a big sign above them saying "Please take one "  So thats what I do each time I pass  by.

I may be going off in the completely wrong direction Si....But for 'mini rocks' would something like 'gravel' for an aquarium work ?....
Or is what you're after somewhat larger ?

Do you guys have these collections of trees near you? I think they are called woods, or sometime forests.

The trees come coated in bark - and often bits of it drop off. 


We went for a walk in a pine woods the other week (back when it was sunny) and my daughters came back with a large collection of stuff, including several chunks of bark.

Or you could just use chicken nuggets, hard, inedible, never decompose...

Or not.

Depends which end the nuggets came out of, Lemmey.
