Freeze Dates February 27th &
28th 2008
By following the directions given to me,
I applied the foam to approximately 50
acres of a 100 acre watermelon field. I
began putting out the foam 3 or 4 hours
before the temperatures reached the
freezing point. I continued to apply the
foam up until the point that I saw
damage to the unprotected plants and my
employees had ice on their jackets.
That night the temperatures dropped to
26 degrees and remained below freezing
for about 8 hours. Once the foam
dissipated I was able to see that the
plants that were covered by the foam
appeared completely unharmed by the cold
weather while the part that was
unprotected was completely
destroyed. There have been no residual
effects from the foam and the plants in
that area continue to flourish.

I had 50
acres plus of melons in the ground and a
cold front moved through the middle of
the state. I put out the foam using the
600 gallon foam tank and was able to
cover my melons quickly. It was a cold
night and my plants came through it.
Two days
later we had another cold front move
through, again I placed out the foam and
my crop was saved. The other melon crops
around my area did not make it. I was
the only one with melons in the ground.

We planted
two rows of tomatoes, pepper some
watermelon and strawberry plants in
existing beds as a test. The plants were
starters from my greenhouse.
On test day 1
we placed out the foam at 3:00 pm and
finished at 4:00pm. We installed
thermometers that read the lowest
temperature reached inside the foam and
outside the foam. During the day the
temperature was 55ºF and at night it
fell to a low of 23 ºF and was below 32
ºF for 10 hours. The temperature under
the foam near the plants did not go
lower than 41 ºF.
On test day 2
we placed some more foam on plants that
where showing through. Again the
temperature during the day reached 50 ºF
and again at night the coldest that we
reached was 22 ºF. It was below 32 ºF
for at least 10 hours. The coldest
temperature inside the foam was 43 ºF.
The plants
came through on both nights with no
freeze damage. This product works and I
will use it in the future.
