Turn time!

They arrived by the dozens. Unsuspecting. Innocent. Blissfully unaware of the horror that awaited them.

And one by one, they were fed into the grinder. Their remains destined for a steaming pile of decomposing organic matter. There were no survivors. 🎃

Just another Halloween at Rathlin Soils! Here's hoping your Halloween weekend is a little less terrifying. Have fun and stay safe out there!

Well, if Food & W**e says so ...

Turns out, better might actually make your tomatoes taste better. We'd say we're surprised, but we're kind of in the soil business.

Apparently, good taste starts from the ground up!

Want sweeter, more flavorful tomatoes? New research from the University of Queensland found that tomatoes grown with organic compost tasted sweeter, smelled better, and contained more compounds associated with umami flavor, especially after storage. Researchers say the growing method could also keep...

Powering up for what's next!

We're getting the electrical work done to bring our new blending and bagging lines online. Another step closer to putting all that new equipment to work.

Not many people can rock the 'sleeveless in a puffer vest while operating heavy equipment' look. But Kevin absolutely can.

Good things are piling up at Rathlin Soils. 🌱

Rainfall is certainly not reliable. That's why managing moisture is an important part of our process. The microorganisms responsible for breaking down organic material need water to function. When conditions become too dry, decomposition slows.

By monitoring moisture levels and adding water to our windrows when needed, we help maintain the biological activity that transforms organic waste into finished .

We're proud to have played a part in making Avon Lake a little greener! 🌳

As part of a countywide tree-planting initiative, Avon Lake recently planted 11 native tree seedlings near its Safety Center, with additional plantings planned for spring. Rathlin Soils donated to help improve the soil and give the young trees a healthy start.

The initiative brought together Keep Lorain County Beautiful, the Lorain County Solid Waste Management District, the FirstEnergy Green Team and local volunteers to help expand the community's urban forest.

We understand the challenge of and the importance of keeping organic materials out of landfills. But there's another part of the conversation that deserves attention: food surplus.

According to ReFED, 29% of the U.S. food supply went unsold or uneaten in 2024. That's 70 million tons of surplus food, valued at $380 billion.

Not all surplus food becomes waste. Some is donated or repurposed, while some is composted. Understanding the distinction helps us recognize where food waste can be prevented and where can help recover value from what's left.

Q: Why Compost?
A: Help Stabilize Soil pH

Soil pH influences how readily plants can access nutrients. When becomes too acidic or alkaline, certain nutrients become less available, even when they're present in sufficient quantities.

Mature contains organic compounds that can help buffer changes in soil pH, making the soil less susceptible to sudden fluctuations. While compost isn't a substitute for lime or other amendments when pH correction is needed, it can contribute to a more stable soil environment over time.
