- There has been one set-back after another at our new Commercial Location.. From thieves to more thieves, to issues with the County, etc.. So I will probably hold back from updates here until we have the green light to open.. We have made lots of progress up until now, but we are at a stand-still..
Stay tuned for good news (hopefully) about our new location!

What issues are you having with the county? I work in Pasco and deal with their commercial permitting department pretty regularly and yes, they are a royal pain. I would enjoy trying to help you navigate your roadblocks if you are looking for a hand.
If one tries to do anything truly meaningful in this world, the monolithic zeitgeist will do everything in its power to tear it down. So you gotta keep trudging!
Forces of darkness are among us indeed, rise above Pete!
I really appreciate you posting videos of the challenges in addition to all your educational content. Thank you Pete.
It is always darkest before the dawn.
Keep hustling for us Pete, we need you now more than ever. They'll give tax breaks to farmers using chemicals yet give you a hard time. Your passion for planting and educating people on healthy/organic varieties is something our society really needs. You should be the one getting a break.
Thank you 🙏
Oh man. Sorry to hear that. Thieves suck. I hope they catch them.
You have done all that work to improve the property I would be surprised if they don’t harass you enough to make you give up and one of their buddy come and develop it for their benefit with no hassle
Hey Pete - I love your videos and you are my favorit RUclips Channel, but you should always remember to take care of yourself. Someone told me lately "life is beautiful, but no one ever talked about it beeing easy". Please remember to be extra gentle towards yourself when the circumstances are rough. 🌱🌳🙂
Pasco’s awful! I’m sorry you’re going through that. I’m putting out feelers for you…some of my AG friends in Hernando may know of someone.
You've done so much good for the world by making beautiful places for people to enjoy. I know things will work out well for you in the end.
They might not…Florida is F*****
Hill Ward Henderson out of Tampa is who we use. Tim hunt is a managing partner. Not sure they specifically do Agriculture but not sure if that is necessary. If it is necessary, I am sure they will have a local referral who will work with you. They practice corporate, construction, land use/zoning etc etc. They will likely be familiar with Pasco's ways. We are doing a new office building there and it has been BRUUUUTAL. Look on the bright side though, at least you aren't building on Disney property and dealing with Reedy Creek. They are a different animal all together. Shoot me a message if I can help further.
Sorry bout all that Pete, can I just say you are a true inspiration, and one of the very few people I see taking permaculture seriously. Cheers for all the hard work bro!
I hope you will continue filming Jim and Tyler and their success. That content is soooo valuable to many people.
Will be praying for you Pete. You deserve the best! You are and have been so helpful to so many people. NO WAY the ability to continue to do that is going to be taken away from you. Stay strong. You have many people on your side. May the Lord continue to bless you. And Thank You for ALL you do.
Thanks so much 🙏
I can honestly say you've been hugely influential on my life, Pete. You inspired me to start a food forest at our home, and while it has a long way to go it has completely eliminated some chronic anxiety issues that I dealt with for many years of my life.
Sending positive vibes. Never give up Pete. You'll get through this.
Thank you so much!
I can mow for you.
Gotta give me two weeks though, that’s when I get back from Virginia.
I’m in Zolfo Springs.
I’ll do the mowing for free, just to help you out.
You’re definitely going to get through this. Lotta love in the comment section. We’re with you, bro.
Be blessed.🌞
Pete you need to get UV protected plastic for solarizing. An inexpensive way to get it is to repurpose aging greenhouse coverings. The green house coverings gradually lose light transmission so every 3-7 years the plastic is replaced. It is still very usable for solarizing and they are large pieces!
I'm so sorry Pete, it's so messed up they r putting you through this malarkey. Your a honest man doing honest work providing jobs to a community. America's government is out of touch with priorities. Hang in there Pete, you might be down but not out!! God be with you
Careful with rural bureaucrats, I saw this in Hawaii for years, especially with East Coast people. Attempts to push through, even though the person was in the right, caused everything to slooow down. People would wait years for permits for homes. Or anything.
Take care of yourself, Pete. Lots of stress getting a new operation up and running.
We love your content and we’ve been following your journey for several years. Keep fighting and ‘pounding dirt’! Sending you positive vibes 🪴
Thanks so much!!
Don't be discouraged Pete. It goes like this. Keep doing what you do. Nutsedge is killing my place too! The only good government is NO government. They are an HOA on overdrive. Keep your head up. We love you.
Hang in there my brother! Our prayers are with you!
🙌🙌🙌
If you're ever near Putnam county, you're welcome to come to our nonprofit 19 acre farm which were trying to figure out how to develop... It has been fallow for about 10 years and now it's a blank slate... Your insight and information has been valuable. I hope you can get back to it soon
I appreciate your honesty and knowlwdge.
When I worked for the school district in Pinellas we had “security trailers”. We placed a mobile home on each property, allowed an employee to live there for free in exchange for keeping an eye on the property. It worked out well for us and the employees.
I was just going to post something similar. They definitely need an onsite person and dogs along with plenty of sensor lights with the cameras.
@@kerryharvey6365In Canada the only way it's permitted to live in an RV on private property potter than trailer parks is as on site security. It doesn't cost much to have tanks pumped out every few months and many are economical especially with solar. Got to watch also for solar panel thieves tho. It wouldn't cost much and finding the right person for the security /care taker position, could alleviate so much stress from Pete😢
Health is most important. Thieves suck
Other typo...can't access edit button
Alleviate so much stress from Pete to have that. Could be a win win for an employee care taker to not have to commute to work too
We build affordable tiny homes, just had a sale 15,000. We also offer full off grid options. I wonder if I could be convinced to leave my homestead and come back home to FL?
Dont give up Pete!!! You inspired me to start my own Urban Food Forest!!! Dont ever give up!!!!
It's amazing what all of us have learned from you and your trials and tribulations. If it wasn't for you and many others there are many of us who would be advancing at a snail's pace instead of running. I always wish you the best and your knowledge and willingness to part that knowledge in your videos helps us out in so many ways.
What the heck, you’re doing such great work !
Praying for you Pete!
ah Pete ! so sorry to hear that you are having a lot of issues with the demands of that local county . I hope you will be back open again soon! I started watching your channel years ago when Permaculture was really only just on the up and upper in America , you have been doing well and I'm glad you are gonna go and do some travelling and do what you do well . hey and I hope you get more fishing time too . All the best Pete , thanks for keeping us posted and I'm looking forward to hearing some good news!
Thank you!! 🙏
dude you're amazing, thank you so much ! I've loved your commitment to sharing videos / content ! Especially Jim Kovaleski !
You've changed my life, thank you.
All the folks at the county who never ran a business tell everyone how to run a business. :/ good luck sir. Stay firm on your plans and ideas.
Hey Pete, what did you want to do with the area that you have the nut sedge?
Ive got a certified organic farm in Australia and know nut grass well!
The organic weed killers here dont kill the nuts, only the foliage. Repeated treatments regularly might tire it out but you have a big fight on your hands doing it that way. Sempra will kill it but its not organic.
My suggestion is to outcompete it. Plant shrubs or trees that will shade it out or try something like sweet potato early in the warm season before the nut grass really kicks off.
Occultation over the summer period might help too, you want the nuts to germinate and die off so you need a permeable cover or drip tape and a good solid piece of landscape fabric, nut grass will push through weed mat.
Id keep it covered for a good 6 months, plant a dense cool season crop and see what happens in the spring. It might take a few summers to get on top of it.
Thanks for the update Pete wishing you guys the best!!
Sending prayers for you in the struggles of life.
Do the things that inspire you right now Pete! The darkness is trying to squash anything that is of the light. Wishing you happier/less stressful days as we get thru this insanely hot FL summer! P.S. Be thankful for the rain, our ponds aren't dry in coastal SW FL but not far from it.
Thank you🙏
I m so sorry you are going through this!
Hang in there. Thanks so much for all the information. You continue to give hope to us starting out!
Best of luck Pete! We’re all pulling for you! You got this 👊
Uggg! Sorry about the bad news Pete! You will be in our prayers!
Big bummer about the Ag. issues. I hope you find a good lawyer who can resolve the issues you are having with Pasco County. I will miss not seeing your video updates, but absolutely will understand your absence. Looking forward to seeing you return with some positive news!
Thanks! 🙏
Pray!
Sometimes you have to take a step back. I hope that you can work things out and that you will be able to pick things up at a later stage, no matter where.
You and your crew have done an amazing job there!! Sorry to hear about all the crap! It's going to work out in the end!!, Easy for me to say sitting here watching, good luck to ya!
This is why it's a good idea to learn Natural Law, know who really has jurisdiction over your land!!! Good luck Pete.
FYI if you can get your hands on old billboard tarp/canopy material, it is THE BEST all purpose cover tarps i've ever had my hands on, i use them for everything. insanely durable, and the black side makes for quick work solarizing, i accidentally solarized a 60x100 foot patch of grass just in the folding and putting one away process in direct summer sun. LOL
Sorry to hear about your troubles! We are feeling blessed by your content particularly this summer. We are in Costa Rica for the summer and have followed many of your footsteps from your 2 trips--they are all places we never would have known about without you! We keep saying "thank goodness for Pete Kanaris!"
Glad to have helped!!
We instituted government to protect our rights. Now it is the biggest violator of our rights. Don’t give up hope. You are doing amazing work.
Thanks! 🙏
good luck with the issues! sending many blessings and good vibes your way
Thank you so much!
The will pass....keep on with your inspiring work.
Love you channel!
I'd be happy to spend some time on the lawn mower to help you out!
Keep the faith
My dude, I'm so sorry this stuff is happening. I think the sentiment is the same throughout the community, and that is the fact that the gooberment is always the issue. Best of luck to you and keep growing and moving forward ☘️
Sending prayers and good wishes your way!! Keep pounding dirt!
Thanks! 🙏
You know what they say Pete…don’t let the so and so’s get you down.
You’ll hit a breakthrough soon bro I know it! Looking forward to the new content.
Thanks Bro! 👊
Be very careful with hiring legal counsel from a large firm that has more than one location (especially ones with firms in multiple cities or countries). Those firms are purely focused on billing and will literally end up billing you $5K+ per month if you aren't doing flat-rate billing like X amount for a letter, etc. I was in litigation for 8 year for my small business against various corporations and this is what I learned. You need to find a skilled attorney who works in a solo practice or partnership (LLC or LLP) with ideally less than 4 attorneys total and only 1 location. It's these smaller outfits that are more affordable and give you more attention from skilled attorneys. Definitely get referrals though or vet them through previous clients before hiring them. And, yes, most attorneys want $5-10K as the retainer.
Hey guys. Hope you get everything sorted cos we love your videos on gardening
I am so sorry. I wish I knew a good AG attorney.
Is there such a thing/person?
As a Pasco county resident. I wish you luck my friend!
tough lessons thanks for sharing the journey. you go this pete stay the course
you get things done , Pete
Forward ever, backward never...
The place is looking great! That's too bad your having issues I hope it gets resolved.
We live a couple miles from your new place and see your progress. We have been followers for a long time and have personally purchased plants from you locally. We know an attorney who might be able to help you or at least refer someone. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Hope you find help to navigate the challenges. Definitely want to hear about the treatment for the nutsedge!
So sorry to witness what is Florida now… but yes looking forward to seeing all the new projects lawn transformed into little food forest! We learn ( and learned) so much from you Thanks you and your family ❤ take care
Thank you!
Good luck, Brother to get through on those roadblocks ❤
I appreciate it🙏
Man U got the wind knocked out of your sails
On the bamboo which failed try to replace those asap. I found it very difficult to replace if you wait a year or so. The replacements just don't thrive in my experience, maybe competition.
I bought a Mexican Sunflower from you last week. It made it looking great. I left it in the pot in full sun and put a drip hose on it most of the day. The water runs through the pot and waters my Banana tree beside it. I noticed a few minutes ago it has suddenly put on a ton of new growth almost over night. Hang in there brother all is not bad.
We also bought 20 Bamboo plants at $65 per hole. They are in full sun and we drip those also. Every 8 hours for 30 minute and a couple of times for 10 minutes. I had a shoot that I measured at 6" when we bought them 4 weeks ago and now that shoot is 8'.5" tall. In 4 weeks. I was tempted to split them up when I got them but decided to let them become established before messing with them. No loss at this time.
and not to be misunderstood i didn't buy the bamboo from you at that price. Thank you for sharing all that you do and i hope your mail orders continue to grow your business. I believe the variety that i planted are Good Bye Neighbor.
Understandable.Sorry life is being difficult. ❤
Oh man, I’m so sorry. Pasco county stinks! Too bad you couldn’t find a place in Hernando county..
I’ll keep you & your beautiful family in my prayers! I’m in Brooksville and was really looking forward to your new place. I’m totally impressed by all of the beautiful work you’ve already accomplished.
Take a break, but don’t give up the project!
Thank you!
That's a drag. Just to put things in perspective, only 3% of litigants who hired a lawyer win. Hiring a lawyer derogates one's status to ward of the court, child of the province, and non compos mentis - not in one's right mind, which is rational, because of the aforementioned derogation and improbability of winning, because every court official is a servant of the Crown, and they dare not displease their masters by Oath. A litigant who hires a lawyer to represent them faces an executive administrator masquerading as a judge/justice whose function is to uphold the law, while a citizen who presents themselves at Court is protected against the law by said nominal judge/justice/whatever empty title. World of difference. I studied law as a hobby for thousands of hours. Law is the masterful use of magical language. The vocabulary is English but the definitions are often not at all what people think. Good luck, no matter what course you take. You'll need it.
well, that's encouraging
What is the remedy?
Well you probably could have saved yourself thousands of hours of "studying" because that is the most god awful advice I have ever seen.
Lawyer up Pete.
🖐 uncle pete
Seems like it would be easy to find someone with an RV and a dog that would stay on your property in exchange for keeping an eye on the place. Give em a dollar and call them security.
hang in there Pete!
Life has a tendency to test us. You're doing a great job. Hope things turn a corner on the commercial property and that you get rocking and rolling there.
Thanks! 🙏
Best wishes!
You are absolutely right about that! It's like one step forward two steps back sometimes
I keep multiple dogs, little and large.
The little yappy ones wake up the big sleepy ones.
And NOBODY messes with the pack.
That's the plan hopefully!
Hey Uncle Pete, sorry things are so jumbled.
I hope All goes well in the Future😵💫.
Bummer about the Bamboo😢.
Good luck 🤞.
See yah when you feel better❤
Thank you 🙏
Don't give up!
Thank you for everything. God bless you and you family. Nothing but respect. If you are in Bradenton you are welcome to come check out our little urban farm/homestead/ food forest. You and Jim have both been very inspiring to me.
Thanks! 🙏
Floriduh. So very sorry, Pete!!
Pasco county sounds like a sucky place. You have a nice place, business must be booming for you to afford that.
I'm not going to say that you should listen to what any of us have to say Pete, not beyond sentiments anyway. Tough choice either way but I will say that I often read the comments and people love and admire you and what you do. I don't have to strain to imagine why you do it because your passion is obvious. Some of us aspire to something, anything like what you've accomplished and I understand that you cannot simply trust strangers and risk further issues but I am not kidding, if I could I would fly down and camp on your property with my best friend Clyde who's about 80 pounds of anti theft in a brindle coat and I would so without hesitation. We'd do it just to help and as an excuse to travel. My point is that I believe where there's a will there's usually a way. The results may differ from our vision but there's a real price for everything and you don't necessarily have to pay it alone but unless you have relationships built on trust it's all but impossible. Incentives like wages are seldom enough to inspire a person to dedicate themselves to something as important and potentially dangerous as guarding another man's keep. Even still, I sincerely hope you don't let any of it stop you Pete. You're already doing so many great things but did you realize you're a role model for people in a world where those aspiring to be more godly are portrayed as evil and truly evil touted as virtuous? Some would go so far as to say so. 😊
The way I see it brother, you've got responsibilities beyond what an average person can handle. It's an illustration, a signifier that you may have an even higher calling than you recognized. All that is left is to remember...to remind yourself of who you are and in that moment you will realize that it was never really a question because you define who and what you are in terms that are not negotiable. The path is clear to see, though it presents innumerable and seemingly impossible tasks, it remains nonetheless a path, not an obstacle. Just my perspective, God bless.
I mean every single word and I hope I'm being clear. God bless Pete.
Grow On!
Just as an easy tip for you if you use 30% vinegar or 35% which you can buy online for five bucks a gallon basically use that straight up as it is it’s considered organic and does not change the soil pH but it will destroy weeds on contact the same as any other herbicide and another awesome tip is get a paint roller and use the paint roller to coach the leaves of plants you want that way there is no risk of accidental spraying
30-35% vinegar will kill what you can see above ground but unfortunately the roots live on… 🤨
Hang in there Pete! We LOVE what you're doing!
Sending prayers to get through this permitting mess. You have inspired us through the years
You Rock Pete
I'm doing my garden here in Orlando I'd love to come meet you buy some plants and compost. See your nursery!! You're video help me so much I get a great crop.
Sounds great!
Code enforcement got me for having "piles" of mulch and some other bs.
Some portable goats always help with weeds
My sons cut a long piece of bamboo. It was left in the dam, floating on top and sprouted roots .
Wow!!
i'd love a video on the particulars of the legal battles, the permits, the licenses, the gritty paperwork involved. Unless you're legally better off NOT talking about it, but that seems to be one of the biggest questions/concerns people, including myself have when it comes to getting into ag businesses.
Dude the weeds and the grass this time of year… it feels like a losing battle. We mow every week. I gave up pulling weeds anywhere that’s not on the house. I’ve said I’m quitting my garden/property and moving to an apartment! Then I apologize to my plants and remind myself not to try and garden next summer.
I find, with the hard wood cuttings, do much better in the winter in the UK. Herbs, shrubs etc, I have never tried bamboo, I have grown it very successfully from seed.
It sounds like someone with connections has their eye on your property. Why not reach out to Carl Hiassen at the Miami Herald, local government hate big media attention, you have to understand that these institutions are for the most part a feeding troughs for under achievers.
If things keep the way they are with the county, you may have to just try the other side of Florida. ;)
Dang! I hate to hear this. Life is so freaking hard sometimes
