    You need to usually wait quite a while to plant in the place the cardboard is while it decomposes. But in the meantime, it serves as a weed barrier, and people typically cardboard between the places they plant

      This makes it sound like if I want it to be ready for planting by spring several months from now, I should lay the cardboard and spread the wood chips basically right now!

        Depends on the climate probably. If you get a lot of rain and earthworms, other decomposers, it’ll be faster.
