The soil, an essential part of this universe, comprises elements, compounds, and a mixture responsible for sustainable life on the earth's
crust. Nowadays, under the threat of modernization and urbanization, the composition of the soil is altered. Soil contamination and
depletion are the gift of the modern world where soil pollution results from the management of solid and liquid hazardous waste into it,
resulting in alteration in its composition, consequently; poor-quality fruits and vegetables available for human consumption. This review
article discusses some natural remediate like AM fungi, marine green algae, and used tea wastes to restore the soil. The application of
these natural materials proves to be a suitable replacement of any chemical fertilizer, applied to improve the soil quality with no further
harm to soil followed by a large and good quantity of crops. These natural remediate help in checking the movement of heavy metals
from soil to plants root and act as the best cost-effective technology with the replacement of any standard chemical fertilizer, where only
transportation is required to add these materials for soil restoration healthy growth of the plants.
