Nutrient agar medium is better to non-selective isolation. But I think the nutrient content of the medium depends on the microbes present in your sample. According to the J.C Tarafdar suggestion you can use soil extract agar medium. Analysis of the nutrient content of your soil extract and modified your medium adjusting the content to obtained significant growth.

Nutrient Agar media for bacteria (The bacteria will grow within 2 days) and SDA or PDA for fungi (It will take around 5 to 14 days to grow). Temperature 28 to 30 degrees. Hope it helps.
Make sure you make several dilutions before plating.
