Why subscribe?
Pinch of Dirt is a weekly newsletter about outdoor adventure and the environment.
Who writes Pinch of Dirt? I do! I am a journalist, an enthusiastic hiker and backpacker, and an urban gardener.
Why? I started this newsletter in 2017 to share the best nature, travel, and adventure writing I found on the internet, and to try my hand at crafting some of my own.
How often do you publish? Once a week, generally, with exceptions for holidays, travel, and other occasional interruptions.
What will I get? A special blend of essay, commentary, and link round-up.
Where did you get your cool logo? I snagged the image from the public domain. It originally appeared in a book titled “The Gardener’s Assistant: A Practical and Scientific Exposition of the Art of Gardening in all its Branches.”
How much does a subscription cost? Pinch of Dirt is currently free!
Then how can I show my support? Share with your friends and encourage them to subscribe! And if you tweet nice things to me I might feature them below.
What do readers say about it?
Reader Paul:
Your newsletter is fantastic; every time it hits my inbox I get giddy at the prospect of taking a ten minute break from work and reading my way through a mini-outdoor adventure. Keep up the good work!
