On Wednesday, the city of Flagstaff hosted an employee appreciation BBQ that was ZERO waste!
The city asked Restoration Soils for recommendations of compostable items to be used during the event and to help with collection and sorting.
Of course, we were very happy to help such a mindful and fun event and hope to see more zero waste events in our community.

When composting at any level, there needs to be a balance of carbon, nitrogen, water, and air.
The storms in Flagstaff are bringing welcomed rain while we are tending to our piles at our site near Picture Canyon.

Composting pine needles is one of the greatest challenges of composting in Flagstaff. The slow rate at which they biodegrade is part of the reason flagstaffs soil is so poor. We are able to compost large amounts of needles through our process because industrial composting creates very large piles with pre-ground needles at temperatures exceeding 150 degrees for months at a time.

Note: Wow, there are a lot of falling pine needles falling this year. We thought it would be helpful to rerun Frank Branham’s column from 2019 so you can put
