Glass house advice please

I have recently acquired a second hand glass house and wonder if I should cover the inside base (with weed block / gravel) and use grow bags / pots or just cover a walkway inside and plant in the earth on the sides of the pathway.

Hi there,
I got a second hand glasshouse this year and was advised not to use the soil on either side of the path as you would have to dig this out when the soil got depleted and replace it with fresh soil. Not being well I took the easy route of pots on trays and I have to say the clean up is easy and I have carrots growing in there for christmas! When it gets a little colder use bubble wrap on the walls and roof- I used clothes pegs to attach it and I cellotaped odd pieces of bubble wrap together. Best of luck with it:)
Best wishes
