I collect the root tissue into RNAProtect which probably helps wash off some of the soil, and then add in an extra centrifuge before adding the sample to the column.
But it probably is dependent on your soil type, whether this would work for you!

I haven't had to swap to soil specific kits and have been fine using a standard plant RNA extraction kit when extracting RNA from plant roots grown on soil (in a rhizotron).
