Question about stacking wood: single deep versus more, covering

Definitely. I wish I had just started in the back yard where I am now. I have enough room that I'm leaving the other stacks where they are till they're used up but once they're gone, I'm not using those stacking areas anymore. Now, if I had done what I should have I would only have to lay some pallets down for another two cord row but I didn't make my back yard area big enough yet.

Formulate a plan before you start and allow yourself room for extra wood.
