I don't and never intend to have a floor in the greenhouse, just a path down the center. It is a bit of work digging the soil out every year but having the windows out in the winter (against vandalism) makes it easier. This way I can park a wheel barrow outside and throw the soil in through the frame. I dig a trench on either side of the the path, dump the soil in the lottie and take soil from another part, mix it with manure and compost and fill the trenches back up. I just plant all tomatoes and peppers straight into the soil of the greenhouse.

I intend doing the same. I've got my 8 chickens in there every morning digging for me.
