    Hi All,

    I moved the greenhouse last year and grew directly into the soil. The soil now has like a green mould on top of it. It is not very thick, but not sure if it is a problem.
    Any ideas? Should I take out the top couple of inches? Dig it in? Ignore it?

    I have looked on internet and it only seems to talk about this on seed trays etc.

    Dig it in, it will make good humus.
