Would love to see a follow up with this location now that is been almost 3 years

How's the food forest here now? I like seeing things as you do them but I also like coming back a couple years later and seeing things when they're more established.

I am loving all of this. And I have to say I was excited today when I saw the 2 acre project. Someday I hope to be able to buy some property and I would love to do this. I'm up north in PA so I would love to see you do something in a colder climate. Keep up the great work and thanks for teaching us so much. Loving you and your sweet family. Donna

This is my dream! I’m just south of Ft. Myers in Naples on 2.7 acres. I love watching all the homesteading channels but none of them I can totally relate to since our weather and what we can grow down here is so different! I’m so glad I found you!!

Beautiful ! and it's good to see that more and more people are doing this ......so good to help and restore Mother Earth .

Great job, loving it! Thanks for the great content and information.

I too just have two acre land got trained in parmaculture few weeks back and I am inspired by your video and I really what your doing. I went to college in Vermont U.S.A. ( Saint Michael's College and presently living in Southern part of India near Hyderabad....well made video and thanks for showing us so that we can try atleast 50 percent what you have done and Florada weather is suitable for all your plantation.

Loved when you did the tour of the tree plantings! Keep it up Pete! Love watching (and just gonna keep commenting)

Wonderful! Would be super helpful to know what some of your "problems" were, here, as in when you talked about the trenching for irrigation. What's under that sand? And what are the roots of those large trees around the perimeter like? Sometimes when you create a plot full of nutritive soil, the trees nearby will just fill it in with their roots. Will look for a follow up to this.

amazing.excessively thankful for your channel.

Great project thanks for taking us along. Loved the way you described your decisions-compost screening as budget conscious mulch solution and also retaining the grass in sections (managed organically but sustainable for the owner is so important). Grass sections give breathing space and access-very important permaculture design consideration.

Hi Pete, that’s a big project! Looking good! You mention about putting a water system! With all the rain in fort Myers do you need to water the fruit trees?

@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL

6 жыл бұрын

Hey Jodi! We find the irrigation essential for initial installation and during dry season. Most of these trees will be flowering and developing fruit while normally we are in dry season, the irrigation will help greatly with fruit development and production. Also because of the raised beds due to flooding problems they will dry out quicker.

Already love your videos but now you're playing my favorite band too?! You're awesome.

BetterYouBetterWorld good question. I’ve never had that problem in Florida. I guess we would plant high with a well draining soil around the trees.

Great video! I'm curious--are the mounds on contour to catch water or are is it for eye appeal? I can't tell if there is a slope to the land or of it's flat. It's a beautiful project!

Jerry Snelling no the design is mostly for aesthetic appeal and function. The beds are specifically mounted because the backyard holds water in the rainy season and during hurricanes.

The neighbors native forest is awesome.

Very exciting video. ⛅ 🌎 🌙

Hey, thanks so much for the video! You said something about the sad looking mango reviving after heavy pruning, and wonder whether that can apply to other kinds of trees? I've got a wild almond tree about 4 feet tall - it was dormant and the branches were all crooked when I received it as a gift from a farmer. I pruned it gently, but when it started sprouting leaves and shoots, all the shoots were again coming out from all the wrong directions. I had to prune it back more aggressively (again) but as soon as I did that, the leaves became all sad and dried up. I also made the mistake of leaving it in the sun for a week, watering only once ... Could it be dead? Or should I wait? Thanks so much!

Thanks so much Pete! Indeed, I've placed it on a rooftop under the solar panels for shade, as unfortunately I don't have an area with dappled tree shade yet. I'm checking its soil and watering it about twice weekly during our warm Mediterranean spring, but no sign of it coming around for the past 3 months. It just looks like a bunch of dead branches. How long do you think one should wait before such a tree is declared as 'officially' dead? Hopefully it isn't dead, but I really don't have high hopes, alas :/ Once again, well done for the video!

Love your projects and love your work. Curious about a couple things. What is a price range for a 3-4 acre food forest? And what about a rainwater catchment system or a shallow well with a pump, are those allowed in Florida? All the best and keep up the great work Pete!

Very interesting video. I have a question - if the homeowner wants to harvest low-hanging fruit, how often should the larger trees be pruned- like the mango, black sapote, lychees etc.? And what is the best season for pruning? Thanks!! Btw, I am in Ft. Myers.

Awesome design

Hey Pete, I am a permaculture designer in West Palm. I've got my own design business. I am a big believer that a forest has to grow on a fallen forest and not on a lawn. Do you ever have a client who is willing to wait to have a season or two of growing short, medium, and long term legumes--with intermittent chop and drop (harvests along the way of course) to then allow the soil and mycelium to build. Also at the same time, incorporating native tree wind breaks and integrated pest management. THEN going forward with the fruit trees and it's supporting species? or do they always want to do soil amendments and get fruit trees due to impatience?

This is my dream ❤️❤️❤️

I'm about to work on a half acre tropical farm (house included). My main concern is the fruit trees reducing sunlight to the leafy greens, cucumbers and the rest of my "veggie" garden. 20 feet spacing seems good for the trees but I have doubts about the shadows they might cast over the "veggie " garden. Any advice?
