A thermometer really is a must have item when managing a compost bin or pile. This item is great in that it's no-frills, no gimmicks, it just works through every season including hard Wisconsin winters. Would def. recommend.

This easy to read dial stem thermometer gives accurate readings and is long enough to reach into the center of the pile where composting is typically hottest. This tool will let you know when the composting process has proceeded sufficiently to kill pathogens and be ready for fertilizing your plants.

Always skeptical of products from Amazon. I mean, it's barely a step above Temu or Walmart. Anyway, the product I received on this order has performed solidly. It has accurately displayed the temperature in my compost and has even endured accidentally being left outside for one of our Montana winters and continued to perform. I do recommend and hope you get the same quality product.

This compost thermometer arrived very quickly and is as described. The packaging included directions on it's use and meanings of the various categories of compost temps. The thermometer is nice and long so it is great for our compost pile. Included in the package were many hints on composting and even a website for those and additional hints. An added bonus: the box itself can be cut up and used in the compost pile (which I did) !! Love that !!One drawback: it takes a few minutes for the thermometer to reach the pile's temp. However, that is expected as it's not digital. I now put the thermometer into our compost pile while I am getting myself organized to add my material to the pile. That system works well..... Good buy !
