Unique Composition Promotes Healthy Microenvironment

Zeba is a unique superabsorbent polymer based on natural cornstarch, making
it biodegradable, nontoxic and odorless. As a starch-based polymer, Zeba is
made up of glucose molecules, which are linked together chemically to become
a water-insoluble, net-like matrix in the form of a hydrogel that holds and
releases water for use by plants as needed.

I recently read on a gardener's forum that Cornflower was good for
Gardenias.

So a packet of paella corn disappeared from my wife's pantry.

Of course the mad scientist didn't keep any controls; so I have no idea if
it did any good.

But it is interesting that it is a old wives'/gardeners' tale.
