  • Great 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 ! ... show more

  • Works & Reliable
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. ... show more

  • Works well, good length, pretty strong construction.
It's a really good item. Seems accurate and certainly easy to use. Given the length of the shaft you want to be careful when you put it into a compost pile that you don't hit something hard. It's fairly sturdy but it could break. I do wish I had some sort of a case for it so that I could throw it in with my other gardening tools. As it is I'm keeping the original box and while it's a nice sturdy box it's only cardboard so I can't put it with the rest of the tools. One caveat is it's not instant-read like a digital so make sure you leave it in the compost for a minute or so before you decide what the temperature is. I know some people leave their thermometers in the pile all the time. I'm not sure this one is sufficiently weatherproof to do that. ... show more

  • Two Seasons In - Still Going Strong.
Ideal for an avid gardner like me. No more guesswork on pile temps and progress. Keep it clean, store it indoors and remember it isn't a hammer - you'll get your money's worth.

  • Works great!
Works great. You need to leave it in the pile for about a minute to get the correct temperature reading.
