straw mulch

I mulch my garlic with straw from the time it's planted until harvest. As the straw breaks down does it tie up nitrogen needed by the garlic? I fertilize in the fall and in the spring. Would it hurt to spread a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen to help in the breakdown of the straw. My concern is over fertilization of my garlic. Thanks.
