Hemp Mulch

Description:

Hemp mulch is a popular garden bedding that helps in water absorption. It is the same as any other mulch only that hemp fibers add extra nutrients to the garden soil.

How it’s Made:

The stalks of the industrial hemp plant are the main mulch material for the hemp mulch. Small wood chipper that can be rented in hardware stores is used to generate mulch from the source.⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

History:

Looking to the Future:

Industrial hemp is a very versatile product with many potential uses thus the policy of hemp cultivation is expected to change at the state and federal levels over the coming years.⁽⁶⁾
