Elaine's Bio:
Vegetable gardens, rototillers and spading forks have been part of my life since our half-acre plot in Virginia before I was in school. And for years, gardening meant just plain hard work. In my golden years, as a Master Gardener since 2008, I've discovered how much effort I could have saved over that half century by letting Nature do the 'heavy lifting'. No-till has become my #1 tool for increasing both productivity and pleasure in my garden.

STRONG Salem is for everyone who wants to help and participate in getting Salem, Oregon, to quit chasing Growth Ponzi Scheme plans and instead become a resilient, fiscally responsible place that lives by the wisdom that "Communities exist for the health and enjoyment of those who live in them, not for the convenience of those who drive through them, fly over them, or exploit their real estate for profit."
