Hemp is actually good for soil. Unlike cotton, Hemps long roots penetrate up to 6 feet deep, breaking the soil, aerating it and leaving it in perfect condition for the next years crop. After harvest, that same root stock can be mulched into the soil returning the nutrients back into the soil. In addition because of this root system, Hemp is an ideal riverbed crop, helping prevent soil erosion and mudslides. Perhaps one of the most amazing facts about hemp and its benefits is that it has a strong ability to clean up soil which has been contaminated with toxic metals, pesticides, solvents, gasoline, and explosives. Hemp is currently being used to clean the toxins in the soil around Chernobyl.
