Re: Polymers - Jello - Zeba

Carol,

I jumped on your suggestion to try Zeba. It sounds great, however they are 
looking for someone else to market their product to gardeners like us 
(according to Larry Logan, Chief Marketing Officer). They are phasing out of 
this garden market and concentrating on large agri-business only.

So, other than on the internet for a short time...it isn't going to be 
readily available until 1009 or 2010...hopefully...and the name may change.
