It was 15 years ago that she started making Hemp, Organic Cotton, Fleece Diapers for her own children. She really enjoyed making them and started the business because she loved working with the Hemp Fleece! It's very absorbent, which was a big plus for her choice of materials for making diapers. Theresa now continues to run this sweet little business with the help of her daughters!

If you are wanting the softest, healthiest, reusable cloth diapers, then you will be thoroughly impressed with these! This family puts so much love into their work and are very good at what they do.


Get your baby some hemp diapers and you will be not only preserving our environment by putting a lot less crap (no pun intended) into the landfills, but you will also be keeping toxic chemicals off of your baby's body. Modern diapers are synthetic, bleached and can have a long term negative effect on your baby's health. The skin is the largest organ of the body and it absorbs anything we put on it. So love you baby today and get some hemp diapers from Theresa's eBay storefront!

HEMP AS WEED CONTROL
​D. P. West, Ph.D.

Weed control is a recalcitrant issue in crops grown for organic certification. One approach is the prior use of a competitive crop. In his textbook, Modern Weed Control, A. S. Crafts cites as potential weed smothering crops: millet, Sudan grass, sweet clover, sunflower, rape, barley, rye, reed canary grass, crested wheatgrass, sorghums, buckwheat, soybeans, alfalfa, cowpeas, clovers, hemp, Jerusalem artichoke, and ensilage corn. Of these only one, hemp, can be taken seriously as an adequate weed controlling mechanism. The historical testimonials to hemp's ability to control weeds are numerous.

For example:
"...it is certain that hemp contributes more than any other crop towards repairing the damage done by its own growth through the return of the leaves to the soil, besides other matters while it is undergoing the process of retting. Hemp is an admirable weed killer and in flax countries is sometimes employed as a crop in rotation, to precede flax because it puts the soil in so good condition."
--Charles Dodge, Director, Office of Fiber Investigation, 1890.

"There will be little trouble with weeds if the first crop is well destroyed by the spring plowing, for hemp generally occupies all the ground giving weeds but little chance to intrude....In proof of this, a North River farmer a few years ago made the statement that thistles heretofore had mastered him in a certain field, but after sowing it with hemp not a thistle survived, and while riding his land of this pest the hemp yielded him nearly $60 per acre where previously nothing valuable could be produced."
--C. Dodge, Hemp Culture, USDA Yearbook of Agriculture, 1895

"Hemp prevents the growth of weeds and other vegetation which would be found on such soils in most other crops or after others are laid by, and its cultivation also seems to make the soil more uniform in character."
--Lyster Dewey, The Hemp Industry in the United States, USDA Yearbook of Agriculture, 1901

"Very few of the common weeds troublesome on the farm can survive the dense shade of a good crop of hemp...In one 4-acre field in Vernon County, Wis., where Canada thistles were very thick, fully 95 per cent of the thistles were killed...." 
--Lyster Dewey, Hemp. USDA Yearbook of Agriculture, 1913.

"Hemp has been demonstrated to be the best smother crop for assisting in the eradication of quack grass and Canada thistles....At Waupon in 1911 the hemp was grown on land badly infested with quack grass, and in spite of an unfavorable season a yield of 2,100 pounds of fiber to the acre was obtained and the quack grass was practically destroyed." 
--Andrew Wright, Wisconsin's Hemp Industry, 1918.

"Hemp has been recommended as a weed control crop. Its dense, tall growth helps to kill out many common weeds. The noxious bindweed, a member of the morning glory family is checked to some extent by hemp."
--B. B. Robinson, Hemp, USDA Agric Bull #1453, 1943

"Among the species studied, the hemp species proved itself to be the best in fiber production. This plant was all the more interesting owing to its low fertilization requirements, and its ability to grow without being irrigated and without chemicals, whether it be for weed or pest control." 
--Barriere, et al. 1994 (1)

"Hemp grows quickly, soon covers the ground and chokes out the weeds. So weed control is not necessary." 
--Eddy A. A. de Maeyer. 1994 (1)

In Holland, Lotz, et al. tested hemp's superior weed suppressing ability (Figure 1) against four other cropping situations in a controlled experimental setting. The target weed was yellow nutgrass (Cyperus esculentus), a weed also common in the US, which propagates by tubers and is difficult to control. The authors conclude, 

"...hemp was the most competitive crop in this study. Selecting this crop in a rotation will cause the strongest population reduction of C. esculentus on infested farmland. This control option of hemp against harmful weeds as C. esculentus is an attendant benefit of the introduction of hemp as a commercial crop."(2)

I've dreamed of building a hemp house since I was 18 and this is an AWESOME demonstration that it IS POSSIBLE and CAN BE DONE! I am so thankful to see that we can be using hemp to build our homes, and to contribute to society and nature in a harmonious and renewable fashion. Tonny Budden and Duncan Parker of Hemporium have designed this all natural, sustainable eco-friendly and recyclable home from hemp and other natural and organic materials.

The sky is NOT the limit for the is no limit to how much we can do to make a difference. This is going to happen for many many people in the coming years, especially as long as I am on this planet. I am here to serve and hempower as many people as possible to utilize the phenomenal benefits of hemp, especially when it comes to fulfilling our daily needs of food shelter and clothing.

Thank you Tonny and Duncan for being such a massive contribution to humanity! Keep up the good work!
