I figure a sunny day at 35ºC without wind and even with the sides open that greenhouse is going to reach 50ºC+

So, what spacing do you suggest?
I'm not a greenhouse grower but as a starting point look at this thread.

Also ask the question in the general discussion area.

When I`ll water, will it not get too compact(the woods dirt)(here I`m talking about soil from the woods)?

The proportions in the first post are a bit wrong; either 25% sand, or adjust the other ones, maintaining a 10% ratio for sand.
I'd experiment with it. Put some in pots and water it. See if it acts like it is too wet in an hour, then 6 hours, then overnight.
