A method of remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soilsthrough biodegradation. This method includes the step of mixinghemp hurd with hydrocarbon contaminated soil. The hemp hurdabsorbs abundant water and serves as an initial source ofcarbon and nutrients for hydrocarbon consuming bacteria. Themethod is intended to facilitate the build up of a criticalmass of bacteria that is then able to break down the carbonchains in the hydrocarbon.
