Digging Purple Yam & a FINAL Farewell to the PRONG Garden Tools

Sad to hear about Peter. I bought 2 prongs 3 or maybe 4 years ago after seeing them on your channel. I've got a yellow and a pink. I only used the yellow one for about 2 months when we moved to our new house and there were a lot of trees, stumps, roots etc to remove. Its a cracking tool. Having 2 was overkill but I still use the small one from time to time. It struck me at the time this product would never be a volume seller but I admired the quality of the product. Sad to see them end but its the sensible decision.
Thank you for turning me on to the product.

I bought my prongs about 5 years ago and there's nothing else that will do the job that they do. I'm very sad to hear of the passing of Peter and also sad to hear his business may close as those prongs are irreplaceable. Fortunately, the way they are made, mine will last forever. RIP Peter and thank you.

Very sad news. Simple designs are often the best.
I’ve just placed an order.
RIP ol’ mate.

Ahh, this video was tugging at my heartstrings.
Condolences for the loss of such a great mind and friend.

Got it 😃 YAY 💚

Very sad to hear of his passing. RIP Peter. I have the yellow prong. Beast of a tool. Deals with rocks, tree roots and compacted soil like nothing else.

💚

Condolences for Peter😢🙏

Some time ago I contacted Peter and bought a prong - and as you say Mark, it gets a lot of use. My condolences to Peter’s family - thanks for the news Mark, stay well.

Sad at loss of your friend.

Mark, condolences on the passing of your friend. Sad circumstances for sure. And it must have been difficult for you to make that video. The Prong seems like it should be in every garden and farm and construction/job site all around the world! Perhaps Kevin from Epic Gardening can help get a patent or startup capital or something? Or maybe approach a bigger tool company that makes digging bars and shovels and such? I wish you all the best, I watch every video from here in the USA. My heart goes out to you and Peter’s family. ❤

Aw, shame, indeed, RIP, Peter - I did try to inquire after one of these a while ago, without success. I certainly would like to get one if possible!

This turned into a rather sad shareholders meeting.

Thank you Mark for sharing the news. I bought a general prong (white) a couple of years ago - and have enjoyed it. I have just bought a long prong, $112 after discount inc delivery - I can't say no. I don't want to miss out. There is so many Aussie inventions that never made it. It's sad, but I at least will have 2 x prongs.

Surely you just need to get them into Bunnings and will rake in millions.

I'd love to get one but delivery is either auz or the US. I'm in nz :(

Condolences for the loss of your good friend. I bought a prong back when I first saw them on your channel and it has been great I never would have been able to move the rocks and trees I did without it. It is also the strongest best made tool in my shed.

glad Peter appreciated leg-oriented gardening tools 🤎 Gentle on the body

beautiful color, disgusting mass lol

Reast in peace a man with a good heart like that , here's a share for you, and you and you he was selfless and thought of as many as he could give to, his generosity speaks kindly that surely he is in a Beautiful place Amen 🙏 God Bless.

Sorry for your loses in a friend and a great product. I hope an investor jumps in to save the prong or someone crowdfunds its revival.

If you don't have the time to run the company properly, hire a business manager and a salesman.

I was waiting on until I moved next year to start gardening again and getting the Prong. But purchased one just now. I can't wait to use it.

Thanks Mark. Just ordered one General Prong white

🕊️Rip to The Prong King. ❤

Just giving you well wishes for your friends passing. I like your videos. You have a calm attitude and please continue to promote gardening.

I am real sad as well. I bought three prongs last time you promoted it and interviewed Peter! They are pretty great and I gave one to my friend, who pries up privet with hers all day long. It really is a great tool.

Love your channel!
Carful with the Zip Ties.
They are like a razor knife.
Flush cut them, been cut very bad by them.

Thank you Mark.

Condolences to you and the family of your friend

I like how you are not afraid to say what got Peter.

Devastating to hear about Peter. My condolences to his family and friends.

I have just purchased the yellow prong for gardening in Hobart, Tasmania. No doubt it will be a forever tool and last a lifetime.

Sad news mate. I can relate with the jab we must not name as well. After the first jab I fell ill under duress from my employer (no jab no job) After the second jab I fell very ill, same thing with the same threat from my employer but I had no choice, after all, I had a family to feed. After the third jab (no jab no job.........again) I lost my job because I was unable to work because of the horrendous side effects of the three jabs I was forced to take and I am currently on my own, destitute and in despair living with the consequences of being bullied and lied to by my employer and ultimately my government.

I was told it was safe and effective.

I have a lot of very large weed roots in my yard that this might actually work for. Thanks for this video. I’ll check it out. I’m sorry your friend died. 😢

Mark, I'm sorry for your loss.. Im in America, and i orderd one of your tools the Long Prong. I can see lots a time i will be using this.

Sorry about your friend Peter Nichol.

Have you thought about maybe Eric at Epic Gardening helping? Just a thought.

My condolences Mark and to Peter’s family

So sad, remember watching you two. Just ordered one, take care hope for the best!!

I've been waiting to purchase this prong for ages and they were sold out and forgotten about for a while. Just picked up 2 orders. Condolences 😢

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. I lost my best friend years ago and had to deliver the news of his passing to our collective loved ones. I know just how hard it was. I'm glad you managed to put this video out and am so grateful for how honest you are. Your work has brought me great joy over the past few years, despite not having access to a garden. I hope you're able to sort out The Prong and settle everything peacefully. Was it patented? Would it ever be possible for someone to buy the patent and being The Prong back someday? Wishing you all the best from Ohio, USA. Cheers mate.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of Peter Nichol. Enjoyed his expertise when he was on your channel. Great tool. Thank you Mark I know your friend Peter will be sincerely missed.

Farewell Peter. You legend. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏾💋💙

It's such a great tool. RIP Peter.

Oh, dear. I bought a tall prong for my husband. We didn’t know what we would do with it but he has used it multiple times. Mainly, he has removed massive root systems of plants I didn’t want, a wisteria, a crepe Myrtle, etc. Poor Peter. I’m quite saddened.

the "safe and effective" that was pushed on us in AUS makes me furious - let's hope there's some accountability now that it looks like that might happen in the US

So I just ordered a general prong too. Because I am thinking the big yellow one that I first ordered might be good on the farm, where as this one will be good in the garden.

I am sorry for the loss of Peter.

Ordered. I will be using it and remembering a great bloke.
