Greenhouse - Goodbye Old Friend, Hello New

Although bags are a good idea I have just bought some more of these - at an unbelievable price of £1

 

I have now emptied the smaller propagator and dumped the filling in the skip We have kept the sand and gravel from the large propagator and stored it under the hedge


It also took a while to sweep the rubbish from the paving and bin it


I then decided that I needed to catch up a bit on the other jobs and started cutting down the beans and storing the canes but have had to pack up after only doing a quarter of them I was also being covered in dozens of ladybirds They tickle!

 

It's the same paving as the right. It is known as 'crazy paving' and is old and broken pedestrian paving. 50+ years ago I bought it at £1 a ton from the town council. That included delivery. What they called delivery was the lorry pulling up by our front verge and the men chucking it off the lorry onto the verge. As it was meant to be broken up anyway that didn't matter.

When we remove the concrete blocks that supported the greenhouse you will see that when we made our new patio at the turn of the century we laid it on top of the crazy paving. So that is higher than the crazy and I hope the new greenhouse will not be wider or longer than the old greenhouse.

 

I would guess they would, for a price! I don't even know where they are based as they were recommended by the greenhouse people who get them to install all their greenhouse and sheds on their site.

We'll see what it looks like first and if we can remedy any discrepancies.

 

My last ali greenhouse, a long while back, I needed to have a completely flat solid base for the frame to avoid any warping. I'd hazard a guess that a larger frame gets around a certain amount of bumpiness due to added weight
