Greenhouse flooring

Hi All!

After years of lusting after one I have managed to buy a second hand Alton greenhouse locally off ebay imageimage. Soooo pleased.

A couple of questions:

Firstly, if anyone has one of these does the concrete base need to be laid onto slabs or is compacted earth/scalpings sufficient?

Secondly, can I ask what people prefer as flooring for their greenhouses? I am thinking of a slab central path with soil on the predominately sunny side and membrane/gravel under the staging on the opposite side. Or would it be better the other way around? Or All slabs? Or left as soil?
