Hemp does not deplete the soil; in fact hemp leaves return nitrogen back to the soil, which improves soil fertility, therefore requiring less fertilizer for subsequent rotated crops.
- Hemp can displace cotton which is grown with massive amounts of chemicals harmful to people and the environment.
- Fifty percent of the world's pesticides are sprayed on cotton.
- Hemp fibers are longer, stronger, more absorbent, and more mildew-resistant than cotton.
- The original Levi Strauss jeans made for the Sierra gold miners were made of hemp sailcloth.
- At a volume level of 81%, hemp oil is the richest known source of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (the good fats).
- It is quite high in some essential amino acids, including gamma linoleic acid (GLA), a very rare nutrient also found in mother's milk.
- Hemp is good for the soil in which it's grown, as opposed to other crops that deplete the soil of nutrients.
- You can't get high from industrial hemp.
- Industrial hemp actually poses a threat to marijuana growers by cross-pollinating with their high THC plants, and greatly reducing the THC level in subsequent generations.
- George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp, Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper, and Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper.
Washing your hemp:You may use any detergent that does not contain enzymes (as enzymes can eat away at your baby's skin once he or she wets, causing a painful rash). If you use a soap product, be sure to do a second cycle with 1/3 cup baking soda to avoid build-up. You may also want to try using 1/4 cup vinegar in the rinse.
Baby Kicks suggested washing routine: Wash once in cold water with an enzyme free detergent. Then wash once in hot water adding 1/3 cup baking soda. Last comes a rinse cycle. Tumble dry on medium heat to reduce wear on the fibers. What to do for stinky hemp: Since hemp is such an absorbent material it sucks everything right to the core of the fiber. This causes smells from a residual build-up once your baby wets. You may not ever experience this, depending on your water type and wash routine. There's a couple of things you can try to solve this: Try washing your diapers or Joey-Bunz in hot water with no detergent, 1/3 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup vinegar. Do this a few times until the water no longer looks soapy at the end of the cycle. If the smell remains, you may want to try boiling your hemp for five minutes.
After you get the smell out of your hemp, be sure to use baking soda on a regular basis to keep. Hanging to dry in the sun will also help remove stains & smells.
