from the ground up
Healthy soil grows healthy plants. Ask companies if they adhere to these dos and don’ts:
DON'T: Use pesticides
Instead, promote natural predators like ladybugs and wasps to keep pests away.
DO: Test for heavy metals and contaminants.
DON'T: Use herbicides
Hemp is a natural cover plant, minimizing need for chemical weed killers.
done right, hemp helps the earth
Requires fewer chemicals: Hemp naturally suppresses weeds and decreases outbreak of insects and disease.
Reduces weeds: Hemp's biomass and canopy protection can shade outweeds, naturally minimizing growth.
Regenerates soil: Hemp rebuilds and conditions soil by replacing organic matter and providing airflow through its robust root system.
Conserves water: Hemp needs less water to grow than other plants, thanks to its ability to thrive in dry soils.
Reduces carbon in the atmosphere: Lush plants with lots of leaves, such as hemp, pull more carbon and return it to the soil.
