It all depends what you are wanting to grow in your greenhouse, flowers or veggies?

Lucky you , this tottaly changes how you garden I just love the smell this time of year you open the door in the morning , hard to describe but when its full to bursting you will soon know what I mean..... keep lots of plants in over winter ... so much you can do ....

1st/2nd year having borders is easy to grow in the soil is fresh but it soon gets depleted plus disease builds up in the soil as usualy you are growing all the same plants all the time . How big is the greenhouse if small 10 x 8 or similar I would pave make your gardening so much easier and use large pots or I turn normal 70lt compost into my own version of a grow bag .

Plus having borders in a small greenhouse digging can mess up the foundations plus you have to be carfull you dont brake the glass

Hi
Thanks for that - i intend to grow veggies so paving the whole area looks like my best option.

Thanks for your help

Another idea pave down the middle, then on the sides use a weedcontrol fabric then put gravel on the top looks good and at least the water can drain away, plus you could plant a grape vine in the border

ohh - now you are talking :-)

that made me laugh, your next question will be "what grape vine should I grow in my new greenhouse" lol

For veggies I'd pave down the middle and one side and leave the other side as soil. Growing salad crops in the soil always seems easier to me but tomatoes and the like are easier, I find, in containers.

If you do consider a grape vine it will need to be planted outside the greenhouse in the ground and the vine treaded into unless you plan on having an area which is soil.

If you grow tomatoes direct into the soil it does cut down on the watering and they do OK but the snag is that you are advised to change the soil after a year or two. But I admit I grew them successfully for four years without doing that - not advisable though.(We moved house after that!)
