Cotton is always seen as one of the most natural fibres available. In fact, cotton is one of the world's most sprayed crops. It is sprayed with
pesticides and insecticides regularly during the season, usually 8 to 10 times but sometimes reaching 20 or more times during a single 6 or 7
months period. Cotton farmers do this to help reduce or prevent the damaging effects of insects or disease.

Organically grown cotton is different. Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment.
Pest insects are kept in check using other predatory insects that do not affect the plants. The weeds are controlled by using older techniques such as precision tillage and the old fashioned hoe. This whole process is intensive and requires innovative management.
The results are pleasing as 100% organic natural cotton is soft to the touch.
Little Crackers also offer a selection of Organic bamboo fibre clothing.
Fabric made from organically grown bamboo has been rising in popularity as it is more sustainable than most fibres.
It is light, strong and to some extent antibacterial.
Whether you choose bamboo or cotton, buy it organically made and help save the Planet.
