Is there anything wrong with this greenhouse?

Hi,
I've recently bought a house with a greenhouse. I'm tempted to use it, but I'm a bit concerned that it may possibly have had diseased plants in it.

I've attached some pictures. Does anything look diseased, or are there any other obvious problems?

If everything looks OK, can I just chuck out the existing stuff and start using the greenhouse, or is there preparation that I should do?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

In the old days I used to sterilise by spraying a solution of armillotox, now banned as its cresylic acid. Smells like a public loo!

I guess there must be a midern sterilising solution, maybe a smoke sulphur bomb.

I wouldnt plant in the existing soil, may have been used for donkeys with tomato plants
 
Just dead tomato plants I recon. They only last the season.

Thanks. I think you're right that there were tomatoes. I had a bad experience a few years back, where all my plants were killed by blight (haven't grown any since). Just wondered if the dead plants showed any signs of that, or something else.

I wouldnt say so, prob just dried out.

Definitely sterilise to minimise blight and or bugs harbouring
 
Various solutions of Jeyes Fluid can sterilize just about anything in the garden;)
