"I didn't have any damage to my plants from last night's freeze."
"I protected my plants with only a couple of workers."
"I didn't have to use my overhead sprinkler or irrigation system."
These are not phrases normally heard by those of us who grow plants that are sensitive to frost and freezing cold weather. Imagine if it were possible to protect plants without supporting a large work crew to handle vast amounts of crop cover. Imagine being able to sit in front of a cozy fireplace and enjoy the cold weather in the warmth of your home knowing that your crop was protected.
Now it's not a dream.
Pull the Frost-Off Nursery Pack out of storage in the the afternoon when you expect a frost or freeze that evening and apply a layer of nontoxic foam that covers your plants. The foam creates an insulating barrier around the plants that protects them from the cold air and traps heat rising from the ground. The foam sticks to the ground and the plants under normal wind conditions, and will remain in place for a period of 24-36 hours. The foam dissipates with higher air temperatures and sunlight.

Foam Specifications:

Foam is made from a patented two-part chemical developed by American Ag. Foam LLC.
Foam is non-toxic and safe to use on food crops.
Foam lasts 24 to 36 hours at 32° F.
Foam stiffens after about an hour, providing better resistance to wind.
Foam dissipates rapidly as temperatures rise.
Initial testing has shown that you can expect a temperature difference of at least 10° F between the air temperature and the temperature inside the foam at the plant leaf surface. This temperature difference can vary tremendously depending upon the air and ground temperature when the foam was applied and other environmental factors. Temperature differences of 20-30° F have been achieved.

Applicator Specifications:

5HP Honda gasoline engine powers chemical pump.
100-gallon chemical tank.
Two 75 foot hose reels.
Two gasoline powered backpack foam applicator units.
