For HomeTalkUSA's "Invent America" segment, Michael King and co-host Rita Crompton discuss "Inventing for the Environment" with inventors Bruce and Melanie Thomas, inventors of Prune Master, a pruner treatment formulated to clean, lubricate, stop rust and kill plant disease in one-step without tool disassembly. 

About: As a professional landscape gardener Bruce realized there needs to be an easier way to clean, sanitize, and lubricate pruning tools. He created and developed Prune Master. He experimented with many chemicals with the goal to make a product that is effective and organic.

Rita Crompton, known as "The Inventor Lady," is an industry expert with decades of experience helping innovators develop their ideas into sellable products. Her knowledge and expertise covers all aspects of the invention process - patents and trademarks, engineering and manufacturing, crowdfunding, marketing and selling, and licensing. Ms. Crompton has helped inventors bring to market everything from full size functioning tractors to baby products - there's a reason she's called "The Inventor Lady."

Michael King, known as “the Cajun Contractor,” has been in the home improvement and home construction industry for nearly three decades, first by working for a home improvement company and then becoming a fully licensed general contractor owning and managing his own home improvement company. For more than a decade, however, his knowledge and expertise as a general contractor have been put to use by hosting the nationally syndicated television and radio program HomeTalkUSA.
