Author Topic: Paving slab base for greenhouse  (Read 6964 times)

« on: Saturday, May 14, 2011, 20:57:31 »

Now I've reached 50 its time I got a greenhouse. I know the one I want and it'll be ordered tomorrow but won't be delivered for a few weeks. I want to put it on a paving slab base but I'm too fucking lazy to do the work myself and I'd only fuck it up as I'd like the greenhouse to hang around a bit. It'll be a 6 x 8 greenhouse so it would probably mean paving about 7 x 10.
Is there anyone out there in TEF land who wants to liberate me from my cash or know anyone they'd recommend.

Don't pave the whole area. It is good to have some bare soil inside a greenhouse to plant into. Pave a couple of feet at the far end where you can put growbags, and a path up the middle, but leave the two long sides as soil. I like to grow baby carrots, beetroot and parsnips all through the summer - they groe really quick under glass.

The greenhouse will mainly be for containers and seeds / potting until putting in the ground. I've got a decent sized veggie patch. I'm hoping to grow some serious chillies.

I'm in the 50s and have a shed as well as a greenhouse  Roll Eyes
Only really a navvy - my wife does the clever things - I dig, weed, cut the shelter hedges 200ft long ! and wheelbarrow massive amounts of seaweed from the beach as fertiliser. It's great fun - not  Sad

I'm only 33 and want a greenhouse, but I don't have room for one.
I have a little plastic one with tomatoes and chillis growing at the moment.
I like growing stuff in the garden Smiley
