Comments about Compost Thermometer:

Will be able to check the temperature of my compost to know when to add it to my garden soil.

Overall seems to be a good product but according to my other thermometers it reads the ambient temperature 4 degrees lower than the other termometers do.

This product has never worked correctly. It is a cheap design.

We use this thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of large round bales of hay prior to and after putting them in the barn. This is a precaution to be sure they are safe from catching fire -- hay gets warmer after being baled because of bacteria and fungi activity that was on the grass prior to cutting.

Nice to finally know how hot the compost really gets.

I used one of these when living and composting in Connecticut but didn't bring it with me to Florida - - big mistake. I was very happy that you offer this item.

Well made product, looks like it will last but time will tell. I haven't seen anything made in China that was "stainless" that didn't rust. Seems to work quickly and is plenty long enough to get down to the middle of the pile (for me).

The face, however, has a full scale from 0 to 220 degrees, 50% of which is not needed to measure compost temperature. If the range was better adjusted the numbers could be larger and easier to read. I have to put my reading glasses on to get an accurate number.

Just like the instant read thermometer I use in the kitchen. Not just for checking compost temp. Once our mountain freeze and thaw weather settles down I plan to use it to plant my veggie garden when the soil is right for the particular plant. I made a hoop house over my raised boxes to speed things up. This thermometer will be a huge help in growing my food crops!

Springtime composting is always a little tough...not any more.

With this product we know when the pile has cooled and can build the temperature back up without having to guess.
