Why Weed ??? Hemp can yield up to eight times as much methanol per acre as corn. Hemp cloth is softer, warmer, cooler, more water absorbent, stronger and more durable than cotton. The well known clothing manufacturer Patagonia has found that HEMP has eight times the tensile strength and has four times the durability of cotton. Approximately 50 percent of all chemicals used in agriculture today are applied to commercial cotton crops. HEMP has fewer natural predators and its cultivation requires no chemicals. HEMP is the planet’s most eco-friendly crop. It requires no pesticides and needs little water, yet it renews the soil with each growth cycle. It’s long roots prevent erosion and help retain topsoil. HEMP grows readily in most temperate regions. HEMP production requires no pestacides or herbicides, unlike cotton the most heavily treated fiber crop in the world. Your purchase of responsibly manufactured apparel is an investment in pollution prevention. HEMPS hollow fiber features breathability and insulative qualities that make it more temperature versatile and less seasonal, to become a year-round favorite. |
HEMP is the longest, strongest, most durable fiber that grows on the planet. According to US Forest Service in Washington State HEMP can produce ten times as much fiber/pulp for lumber as trees (maple) on the same amount of acreage and can be harvested in 120 days, versus 50 years (average age of a mature harvested maple). UV and mold-resistant… HEMP is excellent for outdoor wear. Until the 1920's, 80% of all clothing was made of HEMP textiles. Canadian HEMP farmers make $80 per hectare while American grain farmers make $8. HEMP is strong. The strength of a product is directly proportional to the length of the fiber. The longest fibre in a Douglas fir is three quarters of an inch. If you grow a fifteen foot hemp plant, you get a fifteen foot fiber. |
