I had seasoned cord wood delivered and it left quite a bit of bark and debris after I stacked it. Just wondering if anyone knows of any good uses for leftover tree bark. I was thinking mulch or composting it somehow. Thanks

Tinman,
It's cedar bark, available locally through local companies that supply soil, gravel etc. About $16/yd². I usually get 15/20 yards when I put it down. You can order red, medium or brown and fine, regular or large (chunks). What you see is the meduim/regular.
Bagged stuff is for 1 small flower bed....ROF ROF

Funny but when I first saw the pics coming up I said to myself, self that looks like the PNW. ROF Didn't even need to look over and see it was from Greg.
In this area barkdust is almost a common as dirt in the flower beds.

Tinman,
I save the bigger stuff under the tarp for kindling to start campfires when the kids camp out and in the woodstove if the fire goes out during the winter.

Good for kindling, or as seen above run it through a wood chipper for mulch. If the amount you got was excessive, I'd be a little angry at your wood supplier. Two years ago my brother bought 2 cords of firewood and ended up with a heaping 8 foot pickup truck load of bark, stones, and chunks of old asphalt mixed in with the wood :banghead3 . New management at the saw mill :banghead3 :banghead3 . So after not getting any satisfaction, he changed suppliers :bannana: Found out he was now getting better drier wood for less money than before :bannana: :bannana:
Depends where you are, here in my neck of the woods, I sell a cord ( 4' x 4' x 8' stacked) for $100.00 you haul. I deliver locally ( 20 mile radius) for $20.00. And that is all hardwood, oak, hickory, maple, locust, cherry and ash. As far as getting a bunch of debris, sounds like it might have bin loaded with a loaderbucket.
Some people are hard to please, like the fella last year. He only wanted red oak??, cut to 14"?? and ever piece split, even if it was only 2" in diameter.
This is what I now call, Designer-firewood> looks good stacked on the porch. He only wanted a half cord, so I went ahead and did it. But HE wasn't happy when I told him it was $75.00 and he had to haul it.
You can take the boy out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the boy. Well, I guess you can, but it wouldn't be legal!!!!:hide:
