4 acres of trees over what period? Managed "forest" has a cycle of what 20 years from clear cutting to harvesting again?
What kind of fertilizer load does it need?
Does it need irrigation?
Monocultures are generally bad, whether it is of trees or hemp, but better solutions for our problems is good too!
Hemp rarely needs fertilizer or irrigation. Irrigation requirements are going to depend on where you grow it but it's right near the bottom of the list in terms of requirements
Yeah I heard that hemp grows like a weed but I've also heard marijuana farming is causing water shortages so I dunno
Marijuana and hemp are very different in that way. Marijuana cultivation is often done indoors so pests and things are tightly controlled, and the plants may be grown hydroponically and have to be very productive at growing tightly bunched and sensitive flowers. For hemp, long stringy plants with lots of fiber that grow fast and are much less sensitive, and things like the cleanliness and potential for mold contamination etc doesn’t really matter much. I don’t have any specific stats or anything but I can definitely see how marijuana may use a lot more water.
Hemp cultivation and marijuana cultivation are two very different beasts.
Typical weed shit you know?
