## Description

We've tested our stainless steel garden soil thermometer against digital soil thermometers, ours is more accurate, easier to read, and more durable!

Review: Stainless steel soil thermometer to determine soil temperature to plant dahlias. - We wanted to plant some dahlias at our new home in the central Appalachian mountains about 2000 feet higher than the old place. My wife and I are both retired geologists, and so take a scientific approach to most problems. Dahlias are expensive and should only be planted in soil above 60 degrees. I made a small test hole, near where the dahlias go, plugged and marked with an old 2 lumen walk light. Every few days I take the soil thermometer and measure the temperature at the bottom of the hole. When the temperature averages above 60 with a lower limit of 60 the dahlias come out of the vegetable crisper and get planted near the test hole. In the fall we will dig up the bulbs and use the same technique next year. This is a proper method of determining soil temperature and this thermometer is well suited.
Review: Helps make up for what I lack in Garden Smarts - This year, for the first time, I'm trying to grow ginger in my less than tropical climate. The rhizomes are supposed to start putting out buds at up to 12 weeks after they're planted indoors in 80 degree soil. OK... that's a long time to sit and wonder if my investment is paying off, or if the temperature fluctuations in my house are making the ginger rot. I've got them on a heating mat (as directed) but since I couldn't live with the house at 80 degrees, I had t be able to keep track of the soil temp. This thermometer seems to be accurate enough, though I haven't tested it scientifically. It's definitely easy to read. And it has worked both indoors (with the ginger) and outdoors (where I'm anxiously awaiting warm enough soil to tuck in the heirloom tomatoes I started from seed. I especially like the colored band that indicates the ideal planting temperature range for a home garden.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you calibrate this thermometer? Most come with a hexagon adjuster to turn while in an ice bath**
A: Can't tell you about calibrating the thermometer, I checked mine with thermometer in my garage and it had same reading as garage thermometer. I took mine out today and pushed in to the ground and the thermometer read 40 degrees. I pulled it out of ground and took it back into garage and in a few minutes it read 50 degrees again.

**Q: Is 12.7mm supposed to be 12.7cm? A stem that's 1/2 inch long doesn't seem useful.**
A: yes. The therm is 12cm...around 5" long

**Q: Can it be calibrated?**
A: Hello James, thank you for the interest in our product, I'll be happy to assist you and provide you with all the information you need. We are happy to inform you that the Soil thermometer can be calibrated, and you can achieve that by using the hexagonal screw at the back. Looking forward to having you as one of our customers! Sincerely, 

Natasha Customer Care Department

**Q: Is the result still accurate when used to measure air temp as well as soil temp?**
A: Sure you can use to to measure air temp. There are no physics that would prevent that. Just give it plenty of time to get a good reading. It has a lot of thermal mass and would take longer to get a good reading. However, since the temperature range is so extreme it would not be my first pick.
