I would say that the soil is much too smooth. Add some more small-scaled 
noise to the isosurface and it should look better. As far as texturing 
goes, it should probably be a little lighter in color (unless it's 
either naturally dark soil, or it's soaking wet) and some color 
variation would be good. You want a mix of browns and grays. Try looking 
at some real soil and you'll see what I mean.
