The Hemp Plant
Why choose clothing made from hemp over clothing made from ''traditional'' fabrics. Hemp is as traditional a fabric as you can find. The hemp plant is the oldest cultivated fiber plant known, with a history of use in textiles and fabrics dating back as far as 8000 BC. The reasons for hemp's continued popularity are still applicable today, and are the basis for the renewed interest in its cultivation and use.
The hemp plant produces the strongest natural fiber known. Hemp fabric is three times stronger than cotton fabric of the same weight; it is also warmer, more absorbent, and longer wearing. A crop of hemp requires no application of herbicides. With a density of 200 to 300 plants per square meter, there is no available room or light for weeds to grow.
The hemp plant also has no need of pesticides. It has no known insect enemies and is also highly resistant to disease.
