Add several soybean plants.

Soybeans are legumes that host nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Rhizobium) in their root nodules, which convert atmospheric N2 into usable nitrogen compounds and raise soil nitrogen. The other choices would not increase soil N (cutting fertilizers reduces inputs, continuous harvesting removes N, and fewer decomposers would reduce nutrient recycling).
