Foam Protects Plants From Early Frost
Horticulturist David Patterson of Longwood Gardens explains a protein based foam developed at Delaware Turfgrass Conference to shield crops from early fall frost. Field tests show foam retains heat to 38 degrees F under foam while ambient is 23 degrees, with about 18 hours of protection before gradual disintegration. Future plans include home aerosol versions.
