More about Hemp:
Hemp and marijuana are both the same species of plant separated only by selective breeding. Hemp is extremely durable, up to three times stronger than cotton. It’s soft to touch, and can hold its shape well. Hemp is naturally breathable and highly water absorbent. It is hypo-allergenic, UV resistant, anti-fungal and thermoregulating.
Eco credentials:
Hemp behaves and looks much like linen. It is also grown and processed in a similar way, yet it can yield twice as much fibre as flax. Hemp is a densely grown plant that literally chokes out any competing plants. This means harsh chemical herbicides aren’t necessary. It has a short growing period of about 100 days and so can be planted and harvested up to four times a year, and so, only requires a small amount of land to cultivate. The cultivation process naturally reduces pests so no pesticides are needed. It requires little water and returns 60-70% of the nutrients it takes into the soil. It is the most carbon negative crop, absorbing more carbon dioxide than it produces.
