Hi,
I bought a small 6'x8' greenhouse this winter and have yet to set it up. Actually it isn't likely to be set up for at least a few weeks until the snow melts.

Anyway, I have heard differing opinions on whether to set it up N-S or E-W. From what I can tell at my latitude, setting it up E-W may allow for more heat absorption in the middle of the day. But plants may grow better N-S.

Any advice?
