Easy-To-Read Digital Compost Thermometer
 ✖  |
Serious composters may want to check out these digital thermometers that quickly tell you how well your pile is “cooking”.Accurate temperatures are displayed after 1 to 2 min. The thermometers come in 24 to 72-in. lengths and in 2 models. The heavy-duty probe is 5/16-in. dia. and starts at $289 for the 24-in. version. The super-duty digital model is 3/8-in. in dia. and starts at $319 for a 24-in. probe.
“Thermometer tips should reach to the center of a compost pile,” says Peter McMahon, REOTEMP Instruments. “We recommend to not leave it in the pile overnight,” he says, noting that though they are water resistant, they can corrode.
They have a 5-year battery life. Replacement battery packs can be purchased for $10. Mechanical thermometers are also available, starting at $99.
