So glad to see you an apply all this on so many levels! Thank you for continuing to learn and share. Love adding in syntropic, KNF, elaine ingham soil science stuff to typical permaculture and designing the biggest system for a property that can support itself with the resources from the atmosphere and parent soil material
What an intriguing idea to use banana as a chop and drop... it makes so much sense now that you share that. Wheels are turning in my brain! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Hi Pete, I am from India and planted mango saplings 3 months ago. Eagerly, waiting for your pruning techniques. Good luck for your hardworking passion .
Perfect timing. I just had some sweet Philippine mango for dessert a while ago. Anyhow, wow. The scale of this mango farm is so vast. And using banana as support species is certainly a wise idea. Thank you for sharing. I wish you more power and success this 2020!
I got rid of most of my banana plants because they are a pain and hard to work on especially if your variety is very tall. Try harvesting the bananas when there is a very high bunch of bananas maybe weighing 100 lbs and you are on a ladder 6-8 feet up a ladder. And every time you do it your clothes get ruined by the sap. When your stalks get tall and you cut them down they might fall on top of a beautiful mango tree. But otherwise I always love your videos and my all time favorite was your videos at Dr Campbell’s Home. I myself am growing 265 mango and avocado trees on my 1/2 acre corner lot. And every tree is healthy as possible and separated from one another. Hope you visit this mental case some day!!!
Yup! That was the massive undertaking of removing the Brazilian pepper plants. These types of plantings are still very experimental so it will be really interesting to watch this project unfold.
Looks awesome! That must have needed some good working hands, look like a lot of ground/trees/bananas to cover! in half a year is going to look epicly covered! Nice to see all the projects you are doing! May it be an awesome year!
Nice soil ! The rich dark brown and black soil is a good start for the tree. Plant some garlic between the small trees. For the giggles :-) No need to harvest the garlic. It will reproduce like slow grass and enrich the soil.
Looks great really appreciate all the revolutionary and educational information you share. I know most people think if you top a banana they will just die. And the spacing thing I bet you had so many people rolling over backwards when you said 3 tree's in one hole😅 So many people are unaware of how thing's (can) work just because they've never seen it. It's alot like art I know for me atleast, when you see the possibilities it unlocks potential.
I cannot pass up a banana tree when I'm at Echo, I'm still waiting on 4 racks to ripen, hopefully this cold snap won't hurt anything...great privacy fence too for those pesky neighbors...I too am anxious for the mango pruning vids and those first buds...yum yum...!!!
Just amazing! We have been watching your videos since you started TH-cam and it is all so inspiring for us as we apply the foundation for our Homestead Food Forest. Keep doing what you have been doing, it helps many and gives others ideas!
Wow i didn't get any notification for three videos in a row except this video I'll go back and watch them btw great job you got going on there 🎄 Happy New Year🎄 🎄🌺✌peace✌🌺🎄
Thank you so much for this short and sweet snippet! I love when I get all the good info up front, no padding. I'm really curious about the Syntropic Agroforestry commercial farm concept and how viable it is... I'm doin research in preparation to write up a business plan to pitch farm to investor. Could you outline things like start up and maintenance costs and laborers needed to per acre? I'm also curious if you wrote up your plan before initiating planting and were there any expenses you didn't anticipate? And would you suggest putting everything in at once for a large scale operation or would you suggest more slow and steady? Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience for us curious gardeners
Glad you mentioned that it was previously full of Brazilian Pepper. I was worried that the land had been developed from natural Florida to the farm. The farm is a much better use of land than that awful invasive! Looking forward to hearing updates on this farm down the line. Thanks, dude!
Awesome video, thanks! Im down in Charlotte County and want to do the same thing but with pigs instead of cows. The problem is irrigation, are the cows ok with the drip lines? Or do they tear them up when walking through the grove?
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL They are growing in the ground south side wall near house. Lots of live oak around them at neighbors house. When it’s below 30 frost cloth last few year. Last year less and less on them using it. Dude it’s to putting out flowers buds now. The way he pulled it over made it lower to the ground plus it put out or limbs that he would train it looks beautiful. Guy name is John he cares for customers yard. He blows my mind with his knowledge. Bro I did a walk - through on the property made a video check out you’d enjoy it.
That’s brilliant because even in zone 6 you could use Musa basjoo for biomass. 🤯🤙🏼 this system which almost looks like a monoculture... how do you break potential disease or pest cycles?
Great video! I learn so much from you. I was wondering if you could help me with my miracle fruit. They are producing lots of flowers and I can not get them to set fruit. What do I need to do? I've looked it up but am not finding much help. I'm in Costa rica, near the carribiean so very humid weather.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL awesome. I'll start putting coffee grounds around them. I picked up some blue berries, I'm interested to see if they will work out here in Costa.
Yo Pete! Happy to see you're putting the syntropic techniques to the test. Now you'd better get a chainsaw ready for managing those bananas, mate =) By the way, have you ever tried planting only the rhizome turned downwards, as we usually do around here?
Fantastic concept! I have been looking at ways to incorporate a syntropic system into our old established mango orchard in Qld Australia and bananas might be the answer! Could you recommend any links where i could find out more info about this or see an established orchard grown this way?
Hi Kim! Please check out the work by Ernst Gotch. Also my good friend and teacher Thiago Barbosa lives in Queensland and teaches Syntropic. Please look him up
Hi Pete, My husband and I want to move from Alaska to Florida sometime next year. We would like your recommendation on the best areas or part of the state to buy farm land. We just want to grow fruits and vegetables for ourself so it would not be a big operation. If you were moving to Florida, what part of Florida would be your first choice to look for farm land ? Thanks, Pensiri
Could you point me towards a direction in which I could get some hands on permaculture and farm work in south Florida? I have tons of farming experience, ran a 7000 plant hemp grow up in Oregon last season. Moving to Florida in a couple weeks! Much appreciated.
Hey Pete, You state there were funding problems and labor problems. You uploaded his a year ago. I followed up on this property and it was listed for sale back in August of 2021. What's up? Thanks.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Thanks Bro! I got 30 years on ya' believe that toiling for another is in the past. My question was in regards to the property. Have a great day.
I like the idea of the chop and drop bananas. But I feel like on that scale its gonna be a huge ammount of labor. On my 5 acre property the chop and drop mexican sunflower gets to be alot lol. I'll be curious to see how it's going in a few years.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Oh yah no doubt, I'm guessing labor in Brazil is quite a bit cheaper then in the U.S. but I'm sure you have a rough idea in mind on what it'll take. What variety of banana plants did you use? Different varities? I assume they'll never fruit do to being contantly chopped?
What I like to know is how profitable will this be for the owner? Can you tell me if it will make a lot of profit? As fruit prices are so low in general.
Drinking coffee and watching a Pete Kanaris video on Sunday morning....Perfect! Thanks, Pete.
Awesome! 👊

Great job!!! It will be nice to see how this site turns out. I want to visit!!
Thanks! I’m just as excited as you to see this project evolve. These types of plantings are still very experimental.
That's epic Peter So jealous as I watch the snow fall here 😒. ✌🏻️🇨🇦

Would love updates on this and similar projects.
Unfortunately money tasted better than mangoes. The property sold out to developers 😭
Such is life here in Florida. It'll be paved over in no time.
Oh great!!! I do something like that hear in Brazil!!!
My horses ate my mango trees, I’m not sure about cows but I would assume the same. One day I’d love to have you out for a farm tour.
Yes, cows eat mango leaves.

Keep up the great vids ;)
Thanks Ray! 👊
Good to know that you can do these kinds of jobs. Would you do on a smaller scale?
Hello! Yes, our team installs all scales. We actually love the small urban backyard transformations.
That’s brilliant because even in zone 6 you could use Musa basjoo for biomass. 🤯🤙🏼 this system which almost looks like a monoculture... how do you break potential disease or pest cycles?
Thanks! We’re hoping the incorporation of more native species and lots of compost tea nature will work its way out.
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL Sounds like a solid plan!
Hi Peter,
I've been watching your video for a while. I would like to know how many metres separate two mango trees.
Anna compan Probably not the best asking an American for meters haha but looks to be only about 2.5 to 3

The spacing is 8ft. Roughly 2.5-3 meters

Love it! I think my bananas provide more biomass then the Mexican sunflower!
I would agree.
what types/species of banana is best for fastest growth for biomass? don't want the banana plant to be too tall though
How many distance to planting mango, orange or multa?
You do it by yourself pete?
You think this will work with avocado?

Hey Alex! Check out ECHO
Is there any advantage of using bananas for biomass as opposed to the Mexican sunflower you've mentioned before?
I would say the moisture content and ability to not disintegrate like Mexican sunflower would be a big one.

The mangoes are all 8 foot on center? They look closer spaced.

What I like to know is how profitable will this be for the owner? Can you tell me if it will make a lot of profit? As fruit prices are so low in general.
Only time will tell. Direct sales with shipping will be key for these select varieties.
I want to know what kind ofFRUIT...LARGE with bumps on it..grows on a tree.??
I really want to buy some..and get a tree ??
Mr Pete , how often are they watering using the drip system ?
Honestly the water is only needed for the initial establishment. These trees would be fine long term with no supplemental irrigation.
Do you need grafted mango to fruit
If you want quicker fruit and a clone of that same variety.
How you take care about irrigation?
Because banana needs more water and mango a little.
Mangoes don’t have any irrigation on this project. They have been all plugged off.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Thanks sir. That's really cool.
How many mango trees per acre?
I’m not sure of the actual per acre density.
Can u share details of distance between plants and row distance ?
What was the name of the course in Costa Rica? Could provide details? Thanks in advance.
It was a Syntropic farming course. I took it at Rancho Masatal in CR and would highly suggest them. They have another course coming This summer.
Do you bury your garden (food scraps) l do that in my farm l collect from schools restaurants e.t.c in my farm free fertilizer live your channel
