What's the most efficient way of feeding plants that have a mulch of bark
chippings around them? Last year I foliar fed but wondered if i 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?

Blood fish and bone sprinkled around and watered through is what we do over
our shreddings, may accelerate the rotting down of the bark a bit but
probably not much as there is already plenty of nitrogen available to it in
the air around
