Just finished transferring all my currants bushes & raspberries to raised
beds in a new fruit cage.
Focus currently have a special offer on bark mulch - £9 for two 120 litre
bags. I bought six bags, intending to finish off the beds with it.
Opened the bags to find a lot of christmas tree twigs in amongst the
mulch -
and the whole lot wet and stinking of Jeyes fluid.
Is this their normal offering? And if it has pine chippings and
disinfectant
in it, will it upset my precious fruit bushes?

If it has Jeyes in, I would seal the bag quickly and take it back. Jeyes
fluid is poison to plants.

And you might consider blacklisting the garden centre for being
irresponsible.
