A method for producing soil amendment is disclosed. The method comprising: In the first step, different parts of a mesquite tree are collected. The collected parts comprises leaves, trunk, beans, mistletoe, roots and branches. In the second step, the collected parts are organized based on nutrient level. In the third step, the collected parts are dried. In the fourth step, the dried parts are milled to obtain a powder material of desired size. The powder material obtained is applied to a soil to improve the physical constitution of the soil.
