How Might My Compost Thermometer Break?

http://CatesGarden.com How Might My Compost Thermometer Break?

You know, I’ve owned compost thermometers that broke even though I felt I was being careful. Cate’s Garden thermometers are reinforced to prevent this, and they really are pretty hardy.
The weakest point on a compost thermometer is where the probe joins the dial. And that only makes sense because they start out as two separate pieces. Cate’s Garden Compost Thermometer is great because it has this reinforcing bolt. Not all compost thermometers do, and I recommend strongly that you bypass the ones that don’t.
So be aware of where the weakest points on your thermometer are and also make sure you have some good quality construction and a reinforcing bolt.
