PERMACULTURE DRYLANDS MAGAZINE

PERMACULTURE DRYLANDS MAGAZINE - NOW ONLINE!

Founded by Scott Pittman circa 1986, PDJ was (and remains) the only publication in the world with the specific focus on Drylands Permaculture. Published for 11 years (1986 - 1997) by the Permaculture Drylands Institute, operating out of Arizona and New Mexico, this publication has lots to offer to permaculture students even 10 years after its final issue was delivered.
