ESCONDIDO FIRST ANNUAL MAINTENANCE. Fighting Snails with Snails.

Happy First Birthday to this gorgeous garden!
Today’s maintenance was such a joy!
This garden has a very special magic.
The energy here is so full of life and prosperity.
Team DFS and I worked it over good!
Every plant was touched and treated to some tlc.
We had a couple of casualties to advanced aloe mite and treated all of the susceptible plants, systemically with Tree and Shrub.
We also put down snail bait and a pre-emergent to counteract new weed growth.

Great maintenance! Loving getting a nice long tour of these bigger properties. I really like seeing how the plants grow and fill in, especially with the pots versus in ground.

[@Coco13]

I really appreciate the longer videos. ❤

[@rebeccaz789]

It feels so selfish when you don't post a vid and I pout. Thank you for your videos and everything that you do, your positive attitude and your spirit. I appreciate the magic you create, making this world more beautiful one space at a time!

I miss videos of Laura doing the deed, resetting, cutting it down and everything. I miss the sounds of the pruning shears. I rewatch those old videos just recently and they are all very satisfying. Thank you so much for sharing great videos.

Everything looks lush and thriving well, especially the pots of succulents

[@annikkituominen8741]

This is my favorite garden. It's so spectacular and versatile, with the view and plants. The pots are stunning also.🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯 You are doing a great job in it.

Thanks. Greetings from Bavaria. 😊❤

Whoa!! Look at that Pachy!!!!

[@odinabeckett1163]

Love the video as always!! ❤ Idk if it’s just me but the mic seems quieter in recent videos. Almost as if your voice is quieter and the environment is louder. But I’d watch even if there’s no sound so there’s that. 😅

Love love love 😊😊😊

Lovely garden❤❤❤ When I use a big pot for planting, I use plastic bottles, etc to save soil but I use a couple of layers of weed barrier covers on top before adding soil to prevent the soil from settling in to gaps. I cut the fabric large enough to cover sides, almost making a sac in a pot. Works wonderfully for me 🥰

[@vickivera5160]

Love everything about this property and landscape. Also love to see you get so excited, and you and Hannah think alike 😍

[@melissacookbbleu]

The budget for this must have been HUGE!! 😍

[@suzandeitch9060]

Those pots are amazing!! Blond Terri does fabulous work.

[@user-mm7cp1ho7k]

This would be my dream house with this garden,I can swap it with my great villa.❤😂

[@Adam-vr5qn]

Laura, here a tip for sunken pots. Put Styrofoam on the bottom of the pot. It won't collapse and sink. And it still free drainage

[@gorrillagardening3692]

I've found if you push on a Mangave bloom stalk it will snap off lower and cleaner than you can cut it. Works on the size you had or smaller - probably not on the huge/thick ones.

[@janesgarden7481]

What a wonderful life you live. Happy Easter to you and yours.

[@user-wj9ew2nz9x]

[@laurahacklleen4026]

Beautiful Pots.....

[@davidbuhagiar6861]

Camera work on point!

[@carolbarraza6767]

love, love!!!!!

[@juanramos.jr.7948]

Use Styrofoam from refrigerator or TV packaging , it's more rigid and doesn't collapse. I've been using it for years.

[@Portoverdis]

Can I put my cactuses together with teracota vase into the ground? Thank You for very educativ videos

[@dorindajenkins7825]

[@karolinebrown3735]

I love all the fire glass top dressings you use. Can you share where you purchase them, as I cannot find a place in the Las Vegas area. I drive to socal several times a year and would love to stock up on the various colors.

[@janetyamashige9573]

You can try KRC Rock (locations in San Marcos, Poway and Lakeside, all in SD Co.), Laura also gets her rocks/boulders from there. And have a look at Lowes/Home Depot websites, they have some lovely fireglass by the bag.

[@donna5778]

What systemic do you suggest?

[@tammydick818]

So beautiful!!!
