So, since I didn't level out the ground, and other reasons, I am sinking foam insulation down under the walls. The greenhouse will have usable dirt floors. Crqzy. I know. Excited to get the trees inside next week.

We will have a greenhouse with a dirt floor. To help make that dirt usable they recommend going 2ft deep around the edges to keep the cold at bay. We want to plant a couple trees in the space, so this was the first section to get the insulation. Not as awful as I thouggt to dig the trenches. It should also help with critters

We are thinking of planting dwarf Lemon, Fig & avocado trees.

What would you plant?

We have an underground critter that has taken a second plant. I am very unhappy about this situation.
