We've got the greenhouse in position.
Before I put the glass in I was going to dig out the soil along each side (inside the cage) and refill with homemade compost.

Do I need to do a ph test on the muck first or just go for it?

Then plant greenhouse suited toms etc in April

And mulch, but what with?

We've not grown toms in a GH before so any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Must admit to not doing Ph tests Alex so I'd use it and see, just dig it well in and you should be fine.
I don't mulch in the greenhouse either, tho last year I grew through a membrane and got good results looked tidy to  :roll:

If your planting in April make sure you can keep the temp above about 4 degree's at night.  :)

All I do is dig over the bed, put a layer of good rotted muck then top that with a layer of fresh compost.

why do you plant toms into soil when you see the first truss of flowers?
