    Hi Matt , what kind of ground is it? If it's pretty firm, not been dug up recently, I'd put down something like 300 wide x 200 deep concrete. If it's going to be in a rectangular shape I'd put some rebar in it to hold it together at the corners.might be all a bt overboard though for a greenhouse.

    its quite firm clay. part of it is going to be where the compost heaps were till a week ago. its going to be 4 walls under the sides inside there will be 4 foot by 6 foot slabbed so i might build another wall so all the good compost doesnt disapear under the path
