Setting up greenhouse interior
I have just had an 8x6 aluminium/glass greenhouse built. It is on a concrete base, and I plan to grown tomatoes, peppers etc in grow bags and large pots placed on about 6inches of pea gravel.
I need to build a frame to retain the pea gravel . What would be the best material to use?
Also, will I need to have drainage holes drilled into the concrete base which is level either under the beds or under the staging on the other side?

Most of our greenhouse is paved, so no drainage. If you water carefully, with pots/trays under everything, then you shouldn't have a problem with drainage. We use very large pots for our tomatoes/cucumbers in the greenhouse. They are much easier to move around than grow bags, which can split.
