Weed Appreciation Day

Weed Appreciation Day is an annual American holiday dedicated to weed control. It is great to have a garden or a plot of land on which to grow vegetables and other useful plants, but few people want to take the time to fight weeds. The holiday is celebrated on March 28 and is a great excuse to show the weeds on the property who’s the real boss here!

History

There is no reliable information about the creation of Weed Appreciation Day. It must have been created by amateur gardeners who hated weeds on their plot and decided to start a major fight against them! The established holiday drew the attention of others to this problem, uniting them with the common goal of eradicating weeds.

Weeds are the collective term for plants that spontaneously appear on a site and harm other plant crops planted there on purpose. These are not always useless plants from which it is impossible to get any benefit. For example, you can get a soothing decoction from the medicinal chamomile, and the ubiquitous dandelions can turn into a great wine!

Interesting facts

  • Common as a weed blackberry. The plant is analogous to raspberries, but it spreads very quickly. If it is detected, you can replant some of the plants in a vacant area and remove new specimens that appear.
  • The safest approach is to manually remove weeds and use mineral fertilizers to improve the nutritional quality of the soil. The use of chemicals in many cases can cause damage to useful crops and even reduce their usefulness to the body.

How to celebrate

Use your free time on this day to fight weeds. You can buy new gardening tools that will allow you to work the ground more efficiently and fight weeds. Start fertilizing the soil to get the best yield possible.

Spread the word on social media. Ask users how they deal with weeds in their plots?
