I wonder if hemp could be used to make biodegradable hay bail wrap for farms, to replace the huge amount of soft plastic they use every year.
Very interesting!
FuturFibre are the company that made the #dag #wool and the hemp weed mats that I’m trialing at the moment.
That roundabout he mentions smelled very strongly of weed for months and months during construction, well before the weed matting was rolled out. I believe it’s synthetic weed matting because it is far too bright white.
Might have to go down there and inspect it a bit closer.

As Chris has mentioned before, the terpenes that give cannabis its distinctive smell can also be found in other plants, and even animals. Human sweat contains myrcene, as does cannabis, so people who've been sweating for days without bathing can smell strongly of herb even when they don't consume it at all.
