... can it TRULY be as simple as
- throw down sheets of cardboard
- spread a thicc-ass layer of woodchips over it
- plant stuff in the woodchips???
Because... I think I could actually fucking DO some rudimentary gardening if that was all I absolutely NEEDED to do to prep the ground.
I have a notorious case of what the gardening community would describe as "gray thumb". The only plants that thrive within my domain are the invasive unpleasant ones that make you sick. If I can externalize and cut myself out of the process as much as possible, maybe then something I actually want to grow will actually grow...

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.
