Floor
If
you have not poured a concrete slab, you will
need a walkway down the middle of your greenhouse.
First, lay down landscape fabric (#2380)
over the entire floor. For an aisle of bricks:
frame the walkway with treated 2 x 4 lumber,
lay down 2" of crushed rock, then 1"
of sand, and set the bricks with 3/8" spacing.
A final touch might be to plant lemon thyme
between the bricks! Finish the remainder of
the floor with 2" of pea gravel.
__ Aisle pavers/bricks, Pea gravel under benches
__ All pavers - provides good drainage
__ Concrete slab/tile - not too smooth or it
gets slippery. Provide for drainage.
