A structural engineer would want to box my ears for this, but honestly...If it's a freebie like that I'd be tempted to just put down a couple of courses of concrete blocks, then mount it on that!
Though I guess a trench, MOT, and C10 is only a weekend's worth with a spade and a mixer.
Also, regarding not getting a straight answer out of anywhere...Honestly, if you got 4 builders to make plans, you wouldn't get a consensus.
Unless you go down the path of putting down extension grade foundations (taking into account nearby trees, slope, clay type), filling a nice wide trench with MOT and concrete is going to be fine for a greenhouse.
What are the greenhouse plans, out of curiosity? I've always fancied building a wooden one.
Imo, it's always worth making the right mix for the job.
Am I correct in assuming that you want to do foundations around the outside, then have the middle be bare soil to plant into?
Rather than having a slab, and raised beds on top?
Around the outside, maybe dig 400mm down, put in 200mm of compacted MOT, and 200mm of C10 concrete mix.
And put some rebar in if you're feeling extra (it's not that expensive). Just remember that if you put rebar in, it is an absolute arseache to rip the concrete up afterwards.
Though tbh, unless you're really keen for the plants to root into the ground, I'd do a slab!
The sheer risk of running NSFW servers in this post-OSA timeline, I wouldn't be surprised if they just homer-simpson'd into the bushes, and waited for it to all be over.
This is one of the saddest signs of climate change. And it's visible to anyone willing to look.
You see them bud and bloom in november/december, then get knocked back when it finally gets properly cold.
Knowing full well they've used up part of the energy store they needed for actually blooming in the spring.
I don't get why they are all cosplaying a seedy man from the 70s.
Thank mechanical Jesus.
I'm sick of staring down north of £200 for a reliable UHD spinner. And that's second hand!
Edit: Never mind...
I seem to store all the cables I never need on a hanging wall.
And all the cables I need constantly at the bottom of a bag-for-life in the shed.
I've been considering a mid-drive, as it seems like they have all the advantages.
Had a little look at Haibike: The flagship ones on their website cost more than my car!
Yours seems a little more reasonable.
Somebody explain this to an old person please :|
Is this satire, or genuinely unhinged?
The answer is, you have to buy a Proper ™️ one.
With active cooling, a power supply, and proper Lightning etc. support.
I buy Dell WD19TB units second hand from CeX for about £60. New, they cost several hundred.
Even then, they have issues (fans staying on, and a STUPID bug where turning off the machine causes power-off packets to spam the network).
But for general work, they're very reliable.
Crap idea? Check.
Unpopular with everyone? Check.
Lumbered on the current government by the previous, so hard to reverse quickly? Check.
The conservatives (and Labour's lack of action) just handed reform a beautiful less-racist onramp.
Turns out, despite the best efforts of the media and people who've already lived 80% of their lives, people in the UK actually quite like having a nice environment!
What, no free string vest?
Doing a few things well, rather than microwaving everything Sysco can load into the freezer would be nice too.
One of my locals does chips, and hotdogs, in an air fryer. That's it. But they're amazing chips and hotdogs.
Glad they've finally shown up. I can finally stop brushing aphids off my plums.
Which.co.uk do a pretty good job at reviewing stuff.
They're not ideal, and they do seem to focus too hard on some things over others.
But in terms of finding "Can I get an X that is half decent for the money I'm willing to spend", they work quite well.
Unfortunately, they are a bit pricey.
Sounds like it might be nice.
Why not use the dubai fad to launch tasty new biscuits.
Good call.
If you're not renting, have you looked into a small MVHR unit?
It draws air in and out of the house across a matrix, which heats/cools.
This means that the air gets refreshed, without cooling it too much.
