Hello
My dear parents have today said that they are going to give me & the other half some money as a wedding present and asked that we "put it towards the garden," so we've decided we would like to get a greenhouse
(well, more like OH has said i can finally have one!) But when it comes to siting it i'm a bit confused about it all to be honest.
Dad says get the biggest & best i can afford, which sounds good advice so i've decided on a 10x8 as we have a big garden. And there is an obvious area to site it on which is right beside the veg patch, fairly level, has large trees behind it & will mean it faces South-west ish. But the ground underneath it isn't very good and has an old tree stump in the middle.
The best answer i can think of to this will be to dig the stump out best we can & lay a concrete base, but will this be ok as it means i won't be able to grow stuff directly in the ground & will have to rely on pots/grow bags etc. Has anyone else who's got a concrete base with their greenhouse had any problems with this? Also, probably an obvious question but, does the frame just get bolted/screwed into the concrete?
I know i sound really daft, but i've never had a greenhouse before so thought it best to ask all you wise grapes out there your opinions on the issue! Any thoughts / comments greatly appreciated (and sorry for the essay!)
