Bought it - what next ?

[Sargan]

Just had a good deal on a 2nd hand EDEN glass glazed greenhouse.
2 roof windows, 1 x louvre window ,,, 8' x 12'

I can site in in an area that gets sunlight all day ...

My intent is to grow tomatoes, chills, peppers, cucumbers ... and salad stock when garden is too cold, and probably start of veg plants for the garden.
No intent to grow flowers in it.

Soil is not suitable for growing, but I could dig out enough to put in top soil if needed - although are there better ways to do things ?

Poss options:-

#1 centre flagged area, with earth beds on both sides and end

# 2 centre flagged area with gravel bed down the side & container / pot grow.

#3 flag or concrete the whole floor, and container/grow bag grow everything



It comes with some staging ... I assume does not gain you any more growing area .. just raises it off the floor.

I have similar problem, tried growing stuff last year - disaster! Think of doing a raised bed I believe it's calls. Basically go to your timber get some 9x2 timber, they about 15 feet long. Cut them up to size, I made a box of 9 feet by 5 ft (required two lengths of 9x2). Filled it with top soil and off you go.

Just a suggestion to think about.
