Default feeding plants under bark

What's the most efficient way of feeding plants that have a mulch of

could get away with lobbing handfuls of long term granules or maybe even
chicken manure pellets or fish blood and bone around and allowing
rainfall to filter it down to the soil?

Makes not a bit of difference. Fertilzer will wash through the bark/
mulch eventually, or just hose it in
