The site was full of rubble and didn't look promising, but the location was right - one long elevation of the greenhouse will be south facing. This ensures the maximum amount of sunlight.

Spadework: we dug out the foundations for walls so as to be able to provide a level surface for the greenhouse.

Base & Hardcore: Once we had finished the spadework and built the walls we laid a flat level pad of paving. The soil was not suitable to provide internal beds.
