The end quantity will not be greater. There is no way for any organism to produce elements that are not already present in the soil. You are describing a magical process!

At the time you replenish the mulch on your citrus -- or just about any plant that produces fruit or tubers, consider adding up to 1 pint (1/4 pound) per square foot before you put down the new mulch.
Keep in mind that citrus do not need or care for the high potassium levels used with bananas, pit fruits, and so on. So after applying 4 or 5 pounds of alfalfa meal or pellets, wait 3 weeks before continuing with a standard feeding program. For details, see:
