Yeah back to eden is a great method. Makes it difficult to plant smaller direct seeded plants, but it’s perfect for transplants. If the wood chips are 8” deep you won’t have much of a problem with grass surviving. Otherwise, you may want to make sure it’s all dead before laying down any mulch.

Checkout this YouTube series it’s really informative.

Thanks! I will!! We started it this past weekend. We laid down cardboard to help kill the grass and are laying down manure/compost under the woodchips. I've heard the first year or two doesn't give you great results because the woodchips haven't decomposed enough - but I'm hoping the manure/compost will help!
