Greenco Gardening Premium Compost Thermometer lets you know the temperature and health of your compost pile. Simply place the stem into the middle of your pile to get an accurate reading.
We have chosen for you few tips that will help you to enhance your composting experiance:
Activate your compost: 'Activators' can be added to your compost to help kick-start the process and speed up composting. Common compost activator materials are: comfrey leaves, grass clippings, young weeds, well-rotted chicken manure.
A moveable fresh ground: The soil beneath a compost bin becomes enriched as nutrients filter down with successive waterings. You can place your bin on a plot of earth which you plan to use for a future vegetable or flower bed, or fruit tree. Each year, you can move the bin to a different area; you'll get a double benefit - the compost from the bin, and a bed of nutrient-rich soil ready for new plantings.
Minimise unpleasant odors from your compost pile: This can be a concern in urban and suburban areas with small lots and neighbors living close by. Odors can be reduced, or eliminated, by following two practices: first, remember to not put bones or meat scraps into the compost; second, cover new additions to the compost pile with dry grass clippings or similar mulch. Adding lime or calcium will also neutralize odors. If the compost smells like ammonia, add carbon-rich elements such as straw, peat moss or dried leaves.
We wish you a happy composting and please let us know if you need something, we are here 24/7 to answer your questions

Build quality is great - stands up to the elements. Seems accurate enough. Easy to read. Good price. Long enough to get to the center of my compost piles. Not recommended for rectal temperature taking.

We needed to have a way to be sure our compost bins were working properly. This has a long enough probe to give an accurate reading of the internal temperature of the bins. Seems to be sturdy enough that we won't be able to accidentally bend it

This thermometer is nice and long to get the temp in your compost bin. The packaging has thorough instructions on how to improve your compost for a quicker and more reliable processing time. I will always have one of these as long as I am composting.

This has been a lifesaver in letting me know how my compost pile is doing. I love having the color guide so I don't have to pull the thermometer out of the pile to see the temperature. I use the Berkley method of composting, so need to monitor it closely. This has been invaluable.

I have been composting for almost a year. I have the 75% brown and 25% Green stuff. My international grocery store gave some wonderful green stuff to add to my compost. So I have roughly 128 gallons of stuff. I live in Arizona so I was expecting the high heat (sure, it's a dry heat) to help with composting. Only it was too hot. Have you noticed the reading material on compost is vague? Add some water (good tip but not very specific.). So, I purchased a compost thermometer. I have two bins that hold about 64 gallons each. I added 3 gallons of water and stuck the thermometer into the center of the compost. Over 3 days I recorded temperatures of 94F to 103 F with day time temperature highs of 93 F to 103F. The most interesting thing is first thing in the morning my compost is at 90 F with a temperature in the yard of 77 F. One of the categories mentioned is accuracy. Great question. I gave it a "3" because I don't know. The thermometer has a range of 40 to 180F (it might have an extended range, it might not. So I wouldn't use an ice bath or boiling water to check. Easy to read -- gave it a "5". Value for money "3" time will tell. The company includes a card that states "Have question, we love to hear from you?" NO such luck. It appears the company was in India, They do not have a working website. And as such you can;t register for the lifetime warranty. The price is right and if you are venturing into composting start inexpensive and work your way up.

All stainless steel and seems to be built pretty tough. I didn't realize how hard the thermometer would be to push into the compost pile. I'm very glad I got this length. This one is doing a great job and the needle moves to the temperature quickly, within about 10 to 15 seconds. Then you can pull it out and check the next pile. Color coding on the dial face lets you quickly see if your compost active or not by the temperature ranges in colors. They also offer a Lifetime Warranty.
