I tried it this year but I really bungled it.

Thank you for this great reply. About how long did the beds take to get established?

Probably 3-4 months? I had things planted, but they didn't really start taking off for a couple months there. One side I didn't put anything in to grow, and it's completely overtaken with volunteer morning glories and passion flower vines. Burying soaker hoses about an inch under the mulch helped to loosen that cardboard up so my other plants could break through with their roots.
