Hemp clothing and fabric supplier

Interested in hemp clothing or fabric?

Well you might want to check out Margaret River Hemp Company. I bought some hemp fabric from them last year and was rather impressed. They also sell hemp clothing for women and men and have a children’s line.

Here are a few facts from the Margaret River Hemp Company:

• Hemp can be grown in most climates and is tolerant of a wide range of conditions including a high degree of salinity in the soil.
• Hemp requires little or no use of fertilisers, insecticides, fungicides or herbicides to grow successfully.
• Hemp can be used to make paper without the use of chlorines currently used in the wood pulp industry.
• When compared with timber, hemp can produce up to 4½ times more paper per acre.
• When planted as a "break" crop hemp outgrows all weeds and chokes them out leaving the field clean for the next year.
• Hemp has a deep taproot, which penetrates the soil raising nutrients towards the surface and aerating the soil
