This is a good way to make the soil moist and I would say that you had a good plan. Mulching encourages moisture content of the soil even if there is a prolonged drought. Plants can still survive till rain. However, most people think that this is the most difficult aspect of farming, especially when you want to practice leave mulching.

It certainly is not part of the "conventional" farming techniques. But if you look at nature, there is nothing that rakes up the leaves or collects the dead plant material. It all stays where it falls, and decomposes right there to become soil. We just can't rush the process.
