I want to add a few raised beds to my garden this year and I am curious as to what direction they should be layed out. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west so should the beds be layed out north-south or east-west? I am picturing a series of beds spaced about 4 feet apart facing north-south. I think the beds will warm faster in the spring and the plants would catch more sun if they were facing N-S with the sun traveling across the width of the beds. Just curious how you arranged your beds and if you would do anything different.
