Greenhouse Footings

If I'm concreting in the feet of my 10'x 6' greenhouse, how big do the concrete feet need to be, in SE England where we rarely get frost and the soil is pretty free draining into chalk? Advice I've had so far varies from digging 36" deep (!), to someone saying they should be 'about the size of a brick'. I've even read one comment that said the glass is so heavy, I won't need feet. Also, my base has 10x 8mm holes which could be used to attach, so should I be making 10 little feet, or maybe only 4 bigger ones? The holes are not on the corners, and there are no corner spikes.

I hope you've not bought a palram greenhouse, if you have send it back and spend a bit more money on something better, mine is now in bits in the garage after the wind through the night
How did you anchor that one, Matt?
With metal stakes through the base of the frame into postcrete, 3 of the 4 corners were still anchored, the front left sheered off at the greenhouse base. All cleared away now
