Soil Thermometer with Easy to Read dial

A big help when planting out your veggies

First gauge was faulty on delivery (the dial was not fixed and just span round, so the pointer could be pointing at any temperature!), but as soon as I contacted the seller, it was replaced immediately and with no quibble. 2nd gauge is fine and appears pretty accurate. Would have been perfect if it also had a fahrenheit scale (my seed packets tend to quote F rather than C), but I can easily convert when required. Scale is easy to read when the device is in the ground (I suspect a lot easier than an lcd display, especially in sunlight)

Arrived quickly and seems to be sturdy and fairly accurate. Purchased to ensure parsnip seed was not planted out to soon as it rots and fails to germinate if its to cold. . Worked a treat, lots of parsnips now growing strong. Like the easy to read dial.

Bought this soil thermometer to monitor the soil temperature daily in the hotbed that I started mid February 2014, it seemed to work accurately and was easy to read. I found it invaluable for monitoring the daily temperatures until around August when I didn't need it anymore this year. It is about 7 inches long which is the depth I needed to monitor, it also has an easy to read dial as stated. I am ordering 2 more for the extra hotbeds I shall be doing in 2015. Very pleased with it and would recommend it.

Usual excellent delivery service from Amazon. This is a lightweight thermometer to read the soil temperature. EAsy to read when in the soil and far less likely to be "lost", which happened to my previous thermometer. Not cheap but just fine for the job. Vegetable growers in particular will no doubt like one.

worked really well and easy to use. just stabbed it into the ground under the trees at the bottom of the garden, went indoors and forgot all about it. 10 days later (well, the weather has been just awful) i rescued it and found out, yes, I can put nematodes there to kill the pesky vine weevils. it's obviously sturdy and the temperature guage changes quickly as i discovered when i brought it indoors to clean it. extremely simple and clear to read so i would recommend it.

Not sure it is accurate.It always seems to read 10 as in the picture.

Good value - but possibly not quite as robust as I would have wanted when inserting into compacted soil but ste eay read dial is good.
