Urban Worm Soil Thermometer - 5-in Stainless Steel Stem - Perfect for Gardening & Worm Bin

This is a very basic soil thermometer. Although designed primarily for worm farming, I use it for basic lawn management. For example, in the spring when the ground temp reaches 55 degrees, I know it's time to apply a preemergent to stop weeds from blooming. The thermometer is easy to read, and the accuracy seems to correspond with other thermometers I have around the area. It is fairly rugged so it should last a long time. It has a small rubber cap on the end to cover the tip when not in use.

Out of the box the soil thermometer seems to be good quality and working. Home air temp is 70 and the thermometer is reading 70. It was wrapped in double bubble wrap and boxed. Amazon packed it in their paper bag but the box was not bent or damaged. I will be using this to check soil temperatures for fertilizer applications. Happy with my purchase.

Works well and easy to read 👍🏻 It can be so important to know the soil temperature prior to planting your garden seeds

Soil temperature is a critical factor in early planting that is often times over looked. This is an inexpensive solution to that problem. Readings jibe pretty closely with the general Mesonet readings for our area, so I am going to say it is fairly accurate. It does not seemed to be affected negatively by rain or cold. Recommended for the particular gardener.

Very Good would order again

Works great

The numbers are easy to read. It picks up the temperature of the soil quickly and efficiently. Solid construction in simple to use. Well worth the price.

It does what it's supposed to do. No complaints at all. It's very accurate, I even tested it against kitchen thermometers and it's spot on. Very helpful to monitor soil conditions for my picky indoor fruit tree.

Put the thermometer in and after a day the screen fogged up and will not clear.

Broke first time when I inserted it into the soil, when I pulled it up the probe dislocated - too bad I didn't try it while I could return it so now I'm stuck with a broken expensive trinket. It looked like it's working fine, but why so flimsy :(
