A self-contained bioremediation unit is adapted for quick coupling to a front-end loader, bulldozer or the like with no power connections between them. It carries its own engine and fuel tank for hydraulic driving of a dual horizontal auger head assembly for pulverizing, homogenizing and windrowing soil as the unit is advanced across a site. An upper auger is positioned above and forwardly of a lower auger for further pulverizing a soil first broken up by the lower auger. The unit includes its own water tank for carrying water and bacteria and a spray system for spraying the water and bacteria onto soil pulverized by the auger assembly. A hopper may be provided on the unit for dispensing fertilizer into the soil being pulverized by the auger assembly.
