For me annual added manure / compost (at least autumnally) and a liberal addition of something for mulch works fine. Keeps weeds down and plants growing vigorously.

The only thing that didn't work in past trials was bark mulch. The year followinng application I got funny twisted ferns. So that went out of application schedule.
