This thermometer comes in handy when I need to know when its a good time to turn the pile over. It has a 12" probe which helps get down a little deeper into the center of the pile. Through the winter I've been able to maintain about 110 to 120 degrees. Late last fall I had it really cooking well since I had more grass clippings to fuel the fire. When the temp drops to around 80 to 90 I give it a good turn. Since last October when the pile was started, I've turned it an average of about every two weeks. Compost amendment 2013!
