Hello all

It seems I've caught the gardening/grow your own bug from my Mum. Now I'm on the pursuit of a bargainous greenhouse but sadly secondhand houses seem in short supply where I am so my thoughts are now turning to a bargain new house.

Firstly, what are the 'must have' things in a green house? I'm going for a small one (6x4) and I've got 2 young children. budget is tight too.

And secondly what is the best base for the greenhouse? I'm thinking of paving slabs - is this fairly cheap and sturdy?

Any other tips for a newbie?
