yeah of course. All the shuttering was spare wood lying around my shed or garden and so were the bricks and paving slabs so no cost there. I also have a plasterers float and various tools etc already.
The size of the extension is circa 2' 6" wide by 6' long by 6" deep (sorry it's not in metric) and took 4 bags of cement (£20) plus 16 bags of ballast (£36) to fill.
The greenhouse was free too so total cost was nominal. Don't think I'm missing anything.
You might need to hire a mixer cos this makes it ten times easier but if you can beg, steal or borrow one that is the ideal result.

final updates on the extended concrete base for my larger greenhouse.
My mate has a mixer and fortunately only lives three roads away so I headed around there this morning and pushed the mixer back home. Quite easy as it has pneumatic wheels.
Went to the suppliers and bought plenty of ballast and cement and with a 4 to 1 mix and just the right amount of water the first batch of was ready
if the cap fits
