In some aspects, a soil amendment includes abase material and a microbial material incorporated into the base material. In some aspects, the soil amendment further includes one or more of an activator and/or a mineral that is incorporated into the base material. In some aspects, a method of making a soil amendment includes preparing a base material; adding a microbial material to the base material; and mixing the base material and the microbial material together. In some aspects, a method of using the soil amendment of claim 1 includes adding a soil amendment to a soil, the soil amendment comprising a base material and a microbial material incorporated into the base material.
