Sorry I am brand new to permies and don't know which category this should be under.

I have just moved to an entirely wooded property, and would like to clear out a section of it to get enough sun for a mixed veggie-flower-perennial fruit-chickens garden.  All of the gardening I have done in the past has been by converting lawn (grass/bacteria) with cardboard and lawn clippings, that was very successful.  What kinds of cover plant seeds should I be sprinkling about over the forest leaf litter / wood chips to convert from the fungal centric to the bacterial-centric?  I may have heard red clover? And will they really get enough water with so many thirsty trees about?

Thank you.
