I'd use slow release fertriliser and move the mulch away when applying
it, then recover.
If you have foxes around then using Blood fish and bone would result
in them having a field day looking for the food they can smell.
As Mulch breaks down it uses Nitroben, so putting the fertiliser on
top would reduce the Nitrogen available for the plants and would speed
up the breakdown of your mulch.



Thanks David, they have deer and probably foxes!
