No but I'm very aware of the power of plant exudates in increasing soil life. It's the magic behind regenerative farming with cattle. I'm also a big fan of heavy mulching although I used to bring a lot onto the property. A big difference with Syntropic Ag is growing the mulch on site. 

Healthy, vibrant soil means healthy, vibrant plants. I'm a bit lucky in my climate. Everything explodes with life after the dry season. The trick is keeping things thriving during the dry. Shade & mulch is key. 

 Yes mulch is excellent. If you have access to wood chips you can also use that to create a layer above the soil protects soil and locks in moisture stops soil getting too dry too fast. Pretty much emulating a forrest.

Sounds great what you doing and you have land too. Brilliant. If you can get livestock cows or sheep, then pretty much create a cycle between. Can use manure for compost . soil and, milk etc. Mini farm. Good plan you've got become self sufficient.
