I didn't think it would be possible to compost in my townhouse, but after doing some research, I am going to give it a try.  I am planning to compost my kitchen scraps and dryer lint and hopefully my little succulents on my patio will reap the rewards. 

I was always under the impression that a large pile is needed.  But I've been searching and reading several different sites and now feel a small compost heap is entirely possible.  Another misconception that kept me from trying it was smell.  I don't want to stink up the neighborhood!  But I'm assured by some sources, that my pile should not offend my sensitive little nose.

http://www.highcountryconservation.org/composting.htm  

"Troubleshooting Odor is the most obvious sign of trouble– healthy piles should  not have much of a smell at all, when finished the compost should smell like fresh air after a good rain.  Undesirable smells and problems are typically easy to fix. 

Ammonia smell - the pile is lacking in “brown stuff” so add some

Rotten eggs smell - either the pile does not have enough air, has too much water, or the wastes are not mixed in completely.  All of these causes can be taken care of by mixing the pile well. 

Nothing is happening - the pile is the wrong size, too wet, too dry, or is lacking “green stuff.”  The solutions are obvious to each of these (see proper pile size above, dry it out, wet it down or add “green stuff” respectively)."

So I have started collecting my scraps and lint and should soon have a nice pile fermenting.

Mood:  lucky

or I should say Moon. 

It's a beautiful sight.  A redish, rusty sphere in the sky.  It really did look closer to the earth to me.  Like a large red ball way up high in the atmosphere.

Well, I tried to make a simple Google Gadget and after 3 days of being lost in the dark, I think I've finally found my way back into the light. My problem seemed to be that I used a special copyright symbol character. Once I took it out things besides errors began to happen. I'm a little more knowledgeable about xml, although my little gadget basically does nothing.

It's been a while since I redesigned my site, but here it is... welcome to the new ClubhouseB.com.   It might seem easier to hire someone to put together the look and layout of my site, but it's much more fun to me to poke around with HTML and all it's gadgets.  Because I am my own designer, the site is filled with my own personal style and interests.

It has morphed through the years from just a space to showcase my interests and collections, to a space where I share and market my latest artwork.  I try to keep the popular pages up and running no matter how my interests change and am glad to see that many of my pages enjoy a nice amount of hits.

With this redesign I tried to make the site less cluttered and more professional, compact, and easy to navigate. 

I hope you enjoy the new look!
