It is a pioneering plant and can be grown in soil damaged by overgrazing and poor agriculture. Proper harvesting does not kill the bamboo plant, so topsoil is held in place. Because of its dense litter on the forest floor it feeds topsoil, restoring healthy agricultural lands for generations to come.
Because of its wide spread root system and large canopy, bamboo greatly reduces rain run off, prevents massive soil erosion and keeps twice as much water in the watershed. Bamboo helps mitigate water pollution due to its high nitrogen consumption, making it a solution for excess nutrient uptake of waste water from manufacturing, livestock farming and sewage treatment.
So, we can see what a wonder plant this is and best of all, we have in recent years had access to a wide range of products including textile and undergarments which are soft, durable and truely luxurious. With is moisture wicking and anti-fungal properties, it makes supberb fabric for linens and towels..... and we can used this fantastic fabric to make our elegant, yet practical home linen range. From duvet covers, sheets, blankets & towels in various designs, sizes and colours. Have a look at our range at www.100bamboo.com/shop
