Precision Dial Compost Thermometer

Master the Art of Composting with Accurate Temperature Monitoring.

The Dial Compost Thermometer is an essential instrument for any gardener serious about creating high-quality, nutrient-rich soil. By providing real-time data on the internal temperature of a heap, it allows the user to manage the aerobic process effectively, ensuring the compost stays within the “goldilocks zone” for rapid organic breakdown and the elimination of weed seeds.

Heavy-Duty Construction & Reach

Engineered for the rugged environment of a compost pile, this thermometer features a substantial 50cm (500mm) probe. Crafted from 304-grade stainless steel, the probe is long enough to reach the core of large heaps or deep soil beds, providing a true reading of the internal biological activity.

Key Features and Benefits

Battery-Free Reliability: Utilizing a traditional bimetallic system, this thermometer requires no batteries or external power, making it a sustainable and “always-ready” tool for the garden.
Clear, Fog-Proof Display: The 54mm aluminium head features a sealed dial designed to prevent internal fogging and moisture buildup, ensuring the temperature remains easy to read in all weather conditions.
Optimised Temperature Scale: The gauge monitors temperatures from 4°C to 82°C, perfectly covering the range required for both mesophilic and thermophilic composting phases.
Versatile Soil Monitoring: Beyond the compost bin, it serves as an excellent tool for checking soil temperatures prior to spring planting, ensuring the ground is warm enough for successful seed germination.

Professional Results for the Home Patch

Maintaining the correct temperature is the secret to fast, “hot” composting that cycles nutrients back into the garden. This thermometer takes the guesswork out of the process, providing a professional level of accuracy for the home horticulturalist.
