Frost Zone

FROST ZONE is a unique mix of high quality seed varieties chosen specifically for their ability to survive in colder climates and establish quickly as a perennial plot that offers high protein and
great nutrition very early in the year. By choosing small seeded varieties, Tecomate Seed has taken advantage of a special planting technique called “frost seeding”. When broadcast prior to spring thaw, Frost Zone is virtually “absorbed” into the warm earth as it thaws and expands in spring. In effect, Frost Zone plants itself in the same way natural forage and grasses do with no help from farmers! For the fastest, easiest food plot to nourish deer during the critical antler growing season in early spring, Frost Zone is unsurpassed!
