About five or six years ago I was taken with the idea of spreading bark

Quickly realising my folly the plastic sacks of bark chips were stacked

against the garage wall and left there.

This year I am resolved to get tidied up and thought that the six year
old
bark chips would probably have become something like compost but on
opening
the top sack I find only old damp bark chips. Are they totally
indestructible? Could I put them on the compost heap? Would they burn?
How
am I to dispose of them? Do they have any useful purpose?

I tend to use them as pathways. They do eventually rot into the ground.
Seem to take forever tho'

Whats wrong with using them as a mulch under shrubs and around
perenials, where they wont be seen for most of the year?
