it's Marianne welcome to the latest episode of my backyard series and I'm very excited to share this
one with you because I feel like my backyard has finally come together especially with the
recent products that I received from BestNest so started in 1999 BestNest is a family owned
and operated business in Cincinnati Ohio that was founded out of their love for wildlife and
our natural environment they offer the best in backyard wildlife and Outdoor Products retail
and wholesale to customers and you can check out their website I'll link it down below and
all their products that I'll feature today from BestNest but before we get started if you're
new to my channel hi my name is Marian welcome to My Wasteless Life where I take you along my
house plant and sustainable lifestyle journey and share with you some of my tips and tricks
along the way I also create personal and travel Vlogs here and there so if that type of content
interests you make sure to subscribe to my channel before the end of this video and make sure to like
and comment down below I would love to hear from you but yeah let me share with you the
updates in my backyard okay so I finished mowing the lawn so now it's mowed and on this side I
put turf grass for Teddy I was thinking of like extending it all the way here so I don't have to
worry about the grass anymore but turf grass is expensive but as you can see there's like
so many bald patches in here anyways so and especially in that area so I don't know if I'm
just going to extend the mulching over there just to cover it up so it doesn't get muddy
or you know plant something in there mulch it and then we'll see for the rest of this area but
for now I'm still like slugging snails as you can see my colleus they're eating my Marigolds
so I got this from Lowe's I picked this one out this one is people and pet friendly they
may enter the area immediately after the product is applied I'm merely applying it
like in my raised beds and maybe somewhere here because this is where like the biggest
so like infestation but I tried organic ways to like fix the problem eggshells coffee grounds
haven't really worked that well so I have to resort to that but since this is bad and people
friendly I feel better using this especially for Teddy so let me go apply it now yeah so
that is how it looks like and I'm just like gonna scatter it around the plants on palm of the soil
next I got this one just because I do have an ant problem not ticks and fleas not so much
but like ant and spiders getting in and like crickets in the house so I want to spray like
the perimeter of the backyard and of like my side of the house and see how this one helps
I received a set of plant climbing wall clips from an Amazon Seller if you want to check out
kind of like my full review on it it's in my Amazon storefront I like it down below but I
really like it I use it on my manjula pothos and Cebu blue pothos so I can allow it to climb on the
beam on the patio and it just frames my doorway so I really like it I've been wanting to do this for
a long time so if you're going to want to do the same thing go check it out in my Amazon storefront
so this is one of the trellis that BestNest sent me and it's supposed to be for like container
gardening I did put it here on my raised bed at least for now and to provide support for
the monsteras down here I really like it I think it's Chic and it's gonna great look but I think
it's gonna look even better if you use it in a container garden they did send me another one
which I would be doing a project on for YouTube shorts or for Pinterest so just watch out for that
one that'll be in the separate video and they also sent me this grazing ball like the silver ball
here and if you don't know what a gazing ball is it's basically like an old school security camera
before you had ring cameras and I don't know if you could see the reflection on this gazing ball
basically covers my entire backyard so I put it in here because I do have a blind spot on the
door so if I'm standing on my entrance and I just look at the gazing ball I could see what's going
on in my blind spot but it's my first time having a gazing ball and it actually looks good it also
makes like a great garden decor even like indoor decor and the most exciting thing that they sent
to me is this it's not much yet but it is going to be a potting bench I've wanted a potting badge
for a long time so I'm gonna assemble this today and then show you what it looks like
and I think I'm gonna put it either there or I'll put it over here where
the stable is and I'm just going to get rid of this table we will see
but yeah so this is going to be a potting bench in three two one okay so here's the potting bench
fully assembled it got easier once I figured out which part goes where the only tricky part and
the drilling I just wish like all the parts were pre-drilled not just for some of them and it was
also tricky to kind of like put these benches together but it was manageable it took me like
maybe a couple of hours it is a bit wet because I did wash it and then I'm gonna start using it
basically so this one I would love to keep empty this one is great for me to use like a plant shelf
for my little plants and I would have some like storage organization down here and yeah I love
the height I don't know if I assembled it sturdy or it's just like not on the flat ground hopefully
that's not going to be an insulator on I kind of wish there's kind of like a lining like a rubber
lining on the foot of it because I feel like that's going to be an issue with wear and tear
later on but otherwise I really like it so yes if you want to check out the products that I got from
best Nest on their website I'll have everything linked down in the video description [Music]

beginning how it started and I'm really proud of everything that I have created in here made over
the plants that I planted and in the next and last episode of my backyard series I'll be giving you a
