We
use hemp because of its durability, absorbency, and it's natural
anti-microbial properties. This means your baby will be protected
naturally from bacteria, mold, mildew and fungus. Furthermore using
hemp, instead of cotton, really is better for the environment. 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. Some consider hemp to be the fabric of the future!
