Organic farmers could grow fine hemp crops in our organic garden of Eden... South Australia.
Hemp grows especially well in soil rich in organic matter while chemical over-fertilization results in excessive growth creating less uniform stalks and weaker fibres.
When hemp is grown as a rotational crop with crops such as legumes, alfalfa or clover the soil is kept fertile resulting in good hemp yields.
An added benefit of hemp for the organic farmer is its ability to suppress weeds. Its dense growth and the shade it creates discourages the presence of weeds while persistent weeds can be bought under control by planting hemp for two years running on the same plot. Normal rotation of crops from then on will keep weeds down.
- lets hope our state can work with farmers, grant licenses and create a thriving hemp industry in our organic garden of Eden .... South Australia :)
