One of my tricks is to mulch with straw or wood chips – it really helps to keep the soil from drying out too much. And by the time the next season starts, a good chunk of it (the bottom layer) has decomposed and turned to compost, so I rake off the top layer (usually the bigger chunks) to re-use as mulch, and turn the rest into the soil before I plant. Rinse and repeat. Not sure what the guidelines are for mulching in a wetter climate, but it works great here!
