This guy is amazing. A wealth of knowledge. Another engineer turned Permaculturist. From "structure collector" to "edible wilderness conductor."

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

+larolimu - We were super impressed by his hard work & his approach! Great guy!

[@ahmadsebastian7633]

you probably dont give a damn but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.

[@lukalayne4629]

@Ahmad Sebastian Instablaster ;)

[@ahmadsebastian7633]

@Luka Layne Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@ahmadsebastian7633]

@Luka Layne It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

[@michaelwarren3626]

Truly inspirational. The fact that this guy donates his bounty to the needy says it all.

[@anyfntimesweetheart]

It makes me even happier for him.😊👆

[@theresadailey5809]

He has a wealth of knowledge, I just love what he did to his property.

[@mrsgbee8246]

Just goes to show what one can create with time and a passion for beautiful trees. So glad I get to see these beautiful forests made by enlightened people on your channel. Thank you Pete for showing John Roger's achievment, he has made the world a better place.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Troy Maxwell glad you enjoyed! John really is such a humble and awesome man.

[@federicoperini3446]

Is nice to see that Harvey Keitel is such a good Gardener!

[@brigittelm6054]

This place is amazing.... So awesome gives me hope for the planet.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Brigitte LM yes John has really done some amazing work.

[@denisechavis4820]

True permaculture is when you can hear the birds and insects enjoying themselves!

[@mikeb1189]

You had me @ the pond

[@Darkstar001]

Amazing video, probably the most inspiring food forest I have seen yet. Also really valuable information on hugel mounds, thank you for the high quality videos

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Darkstar001 awesome! Glad to hear the positive feedback.

[@dmjdwebactivity6827]

Wow...I am sooooo inspired.....my food forest is 18 months old now so just little specks of plants here and there...it is so great to have a peep into my future...definitely inspired me to keep going in an environment where the concept is “just too new”

[@mlindsay527]

Awesome to see what can be if you keep at it! I'm 13 years in and things just keep getting better!

[@razingcanez717]

Those tree houses are not bolted into the trees, and the trunks run vertically through the inside. The tops of the palm trees completely shade the roofs. They're amazing.

[@wilmagregory8967]

I'm trying a culture bed of my own this year in my back yard, so far I'm still stacking and layering it. Can hardly wait for next spring. I'm starting with gourds to cover it and reseed themselves. This place is fabulous and even gives me hope up here in new jersey.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Awesome! You should check out Eric Toensmeier in Ma, he has a great Northen food forest.

[@cocuyona1]

that is just amazing! just think if just a few of us did what this man is doing...total inspiration!!!!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Manny Vedo right on man! I need to follow up with this site.

[@loucee222]

Love his calm spirit, walking in his beautiful garden. Thanks Pete!

[@bunkernate]

That was truly amazing.

[@valariekharmawlong6059]

The beetle sound is so relaxing

[@BManStan1991]

Absolutely incredible. I wish every vacant lot in Florida looked like this

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

You and me both!

[@gardeniacruz]

Omgh congratulations this dream I live in orlando FL I just got piece of land in try to make my garden

[@andreawisner7358]

This is fantastic and inspirational! I want to rent a mulcher and steal my neighbor's "hurricane damage" piles of branches.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thanks Andrea! We really enjoyed touring Johns property.

[@warrenokuma7264]

Just ask your neighbor if you can remove the branches from their yard.

[@ritarichardson3881]

These videos light my fire. I'm addicted to permaculture, etc. Love it all! So bomb.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

That's awesome to hear Rita! Thank you

[@ritarichardson3881]

@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Your welcome.

[@SwahiliSpicE]

John is on a serious mission!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Seriously! John doesn't play around

[@marcm5006]

WOW! Amazing property John! Seriously thanks for sharing with us Pete ! 🤙 Hey I think E-man deserves a bonus he’s always driving lol Stay Blessed

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Marc M thank you! Lol he has been doing a good job driving.

[@TheBigjay927]

this is wonderful...........this should be the model for small sustainable communities.........a central center building with a few more rental houses would make a great retirement 'village'.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Jere Woolsey that's what I'm talking about!

[@davidkelly4210]

Yep. That whole AirBnB with treehouses is a legit idea he should consider. Get some ecotourists to live in the forest and help with some new planting to keep it growing.

[@gordonsmit3396]

Wow... That was awesome..... 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🥉

[@danam2584]

Absolutely Amazing!!!! Bless you John!

[@michellebarham326]

Woah!! That is BEYOND awesome!!! 👍👍

[@dleben8597]

Love this video. So inspiring. Especially enjoyed the info on hugelkultur. So wish in didn't live in a subdivision with strict hoa rules. We just went through Harvey and I got over 30 inches of rain in my back yard which drained really well. I have to be careful building up in the wrong place for drainage.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Diane Bennett thank you! It was a real pleasure to feature John's place. Good luck with that backyard food forest.

[@brigittelm6054]

Thank you John!

[@canihelpyou9067]

what a gorgeous place

[@eemm25]

Respect 👍

[@kolapyellow7631]

love this garden

[@preciousmetalhead5155]

Man, that’s amazing what you’ve done in a suburban setting. You’ll leave a long lasting mark on that neighborhood when you’re gone. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

John is the man!

[@jeff6899]

Love it, love it, love it..finally had time to finish it--great video

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Bro! Just seeing this comment, John is the man.

[@RAFAELGARCIA-cy4fc]

I would love to have a house next to that man's property. I love the wild look of his property. I would be a happy neighbor living there.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

I think he rents some of the other houses out.

[@autumnmeadows4079]

Oh my goodness, I learned so much.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Awesome!

[@anyfntimesweetheart]

I find this SO inspiring

[@dezertXer]

"I've reached my limit". Sure you have. Thats what we all say.

[@KonradKavallieratos]

living the dream!

[@easygrows2699]

I would love to live in a Food Forest, i grow plants with all my heart, anyone who needs somebody to take care of their Plants, i dont need anything, just a small place to live and grow a few of my own faves of fruits.

[@chris_nunley]

if you're ever near Houston you should check out Plant It Forward Farms @ Braeswood Church

[@Karen19820]

Thanks for this video. It inspires me. 🌷🌷🌷

[@g..n.4700]

This is the kind of food forest I want since I was a little child. I have the land, but it's in Asia and I am in North America. Impossible to manage that way for me. I MISS TREE-RIPED TROPICAL FRUITS so much.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

G. Nash wow Asia? Nice I would start planting seeds, like yesterday. You'll have a food forest of abundance in 10 years.

[@HFTLMate]

I cant love this video enough, what a great discovery, beautiful and inspiring, nice work!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

HF TL thanks! This was definitely a hidden gem, can't wait to find more!

Shane Millard serious right?!? I was also blown away.

[@shanemillard608]

Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL that stuff is unbelievable! He's taking over like sweet potatoes!

[@da1stamericus]

Pete. Why dont u also do a series on balcony gardens. Some of us cant quit our day jobs 1.2.3.but we do oue best to still grow something. Love your videos. They have made me want to get a pawpaw that csn handle a container. Greetings from the netherlands.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Definitely! One of my features last week was focused on mostly container grown fruit trees that stay small. I can go further with that one though.

[@da1stamericus]

@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL please do. I live in the netherlands. I grow on a total of 22 m2 of balcony space. Thanks to you I am growing close to 50 species between herbs, vegetables, flowera and fruit trees. I now will be getting a container friendly pawpaw.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

da1stamericus I love it! Keep up the good work 🙌

[@infodiff]

amazing.... thanks.....

[@JustMe-hc8mp]

Beautiful set-up, but I'd advise against using palms as posts for building. They are full of water can are quite often lightning-rods in big storms. Edit: I've seen some explode when they get hit.

[@abdullahgm]

Great video i love ur video

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thank you 🙏

[@kristilisakleiner9384]

Kinda heaven

LONGAN!!!Holy smokes

[@OldesouthFarm]

Loved it, great video!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Oldesouth Farm thank you!

[@LarsOliverMuff]

Where can you find the man; there are 500 John Rogers on Facebook. --- found him. It's hilarious that he says about his profession: wheelbarrow operator at "I work in a subtropical forest garden almost daily." --- Amazing Project! "A whole block turned into a food forest!" 😲 "That's the plan." 😁

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

larolimu I'd try adding Melbourne FL to the search.

[@kimehunt4501]

He jokes about Air B&B on his property but I would pay good money, or even better put some work to spend a day or two their with my kids if we could sample the fruit. I'd like to try the different variety of bananas in particular.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

I’m pretty sure John has a few Airbnb’s on the property now. I have a friend renting one of his houses now.

[@dostuffwithniki6250]

i keep having dreams of hitting the lottery and getting Pete over here.:) one year into our new property Im doing ok, but Boy would it be cool to Pete-a-nize this place:)

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Love this comment! Thanks Niki can't wait to help y'all

He`s the Lorax

[@mrsteve555]

whats "growing" on? LOL, i love that !

[@artfulwatcher3812]

I love all of the seedling activity, very informative. Did I miss Sapodilla or am I right he did not have one on the property?

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Tj's Tree Garden I'm pretty we filmed Sapodilla, maybe that footage didn't make the cut.

[@LarsOliverMuff]

"There are worms in it!" "That's the best part, it's extra protein. ... oh, I forgot you're vegan ... DON'T EAT IT!"

[@cezanniemelchor2395]

larolimu he should of known it had worms in it when he noticed it was rotten in one side.

[@oldguygardening2562]

WOW

[@Peekcasso]

He mentioned that normally it freezes there. Does that mean Papaya is kinda frost hardy?

[@KayRanze]

Paul Zmoda in Valrico! Next one!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

kthatsnotmyname good idea! I'm close friends with Paul and have visited before, he's a real wealth of knowledge!

[@dragonflybonsaigardens]

So do you have to dig down in the earth to start a hugel mound or can you just lay sticks and logs on grade

[@BushImports]

I don't see how he got all that in one block, it must just look different/bigger on camera than it does in person. That was really cool and interesting, thanks man. You guys mulberry's must be a lot better than what I have here or you would not like them so much, the birds get all of mine before they even get ripe. The ones I have here are dry waxy and really do not have a good flavor.

[@BushImports]

@Quid Khan The one I have is a pretty old tree, it might be good to graft something else onto, I don't know what though.

[@christiebetts4970]

What an oasis! Love the tree house.How far south is this?

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Christie Betts this is in Melbourne on the East coast, zone 9b.

Is there a name for that Everbaring Bush size mulberry?

Nancy Fahey yes it's called everbearing mulberry.

For REAL though

[@zfallon84]

There is a guy in Melbourne who specializes in exotic flowers.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

zfallon84 really? Please get me his information, I would love to visit.

[@Nepalimetalhead]

It reminds me of Robin Williams, i dont know why.

[@kydenj28]

What would be a good clumping bamboo for a home owner with an acre grow for construction

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

It depends on cane size.

[@kydenj28]

Probably a medium thickness would be good. With a smaller clump size

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

kydenj bennett Bambusa malingensis

[@brigittelm6054]

hi Pete...hows it going

Hi Brigette! Awesome just hanging out with Jim K in Maine, we're finishing the rest of our footage for the course.

Saving the planet one garden at a thing the govt isn’t going to do it for us we have to do it plant the Co2 eaters plant a tree!!

[@andreawisner7358]

If I were to buy a mulcher, is there one you would recommend?

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Andrea Wisner honestly I haven't found a small one would suggest. The worst part is you could run wood through the chipper all day and it isn't that much material compared to one of these large commercial chippers.

[@ananthabhat1774]

come to india ..

[@gardeniacruz]

I need help in my land and grow more fruit trees

I didn't catch it but what state is this in?
