I may have missed what part of the country you're in so I don't know if your dealing with frost, but the most important part is drainage behind the wall that is into the bank or hill. I suggest you draintile at the base of the wall behind it (with multiple exits) and then fill with washed rock about 1-2 feet, horizontal, behind it up to the surface. Also put a silt barrier between the washed rock and the native dirt so the washed rock does not silt in over time. Also divert water away from the in-hill part of the shed if you can. Sometimes people bulldoze a small ditch above the shed so water coming down the hill can divert around it.
The same comments apply to the rest of the shed, manage the water. You need to think about the sub-grade and how it is drained. The sub-grade is the point where your sand or gravel lift meets the native clay/soil under and around your shed. Managing water is hugely important, normally not expensive (just requires thought) and can really impact the life of your shed. Paul
