planting legume plants (pea's and acacia)  will add nitrogen to the soil.

if you mow let the grass clippings sit on the lawn.

if possible, keep the garden moist (promotes fugal and bacterial decomposition).

compost.

a dence under story will keep the area humid and promote decomposition.

releasing/promoting worms in the soil/compost.

keep in mind that rainforests have a very rapid nutrient recycling rate so try to replicate rainforest conditions were possible.
