Re: Hydrogels - Quench

**"* P* <r*@comcast.net>**

Mary Ann,

Quench is the product I wrote about a few days ago. It is being "phased out" 
according to their chief marketing person and they are looking for a new 
company to market it to homeowners. The company that developed it is staying 
in the large agricultural market. They think the product may be reintroduced 
in 2009 or 2010 under a new name, but no promises.
