An essential factor to creating good, rich garden compost is to monitor the temperature and this compost thermometer makes it easy
Making good compost is a bit like baking a cake, you need the right ingredients, in the right proportions and the right environment. Firstly you need somewhere to create your compost and then you need the ingredients. A good mix of lush green materials like grass cuttings, annual weeds, tea bags, fruit and vegetable peelings. And then double parts brown materials like shredded paper, eggshells, straw, wood chippings and dried leaves.
Then for the cooking - to achieve good quality compost aim for alternate layers of the brown and green material which aids air circulation for optimal breakdown. Regular mixing of your pile will also allow the air to circulate and you want to ensure your pile has moisture, if the materials dry out it stops the breakdown. Heat is created by the breakdown process so by keeping check of the temperature you will soon identify if your pile is out of balance and can correct it to keep it happy. This compost thermometer is made from stainless steel, which is the perfect material to withstand the moist environment required for your compost to thrive in. The easy to read dial has 3 colour coded temperature zones to keep an eye on, warm, active and hot.
