Meet the REOTEMP 16-inch Fahrenheit Backyard Compost Thermometer, a robust tool built for home composting. Since 1965, REOTEMP has paired accuracy with durable construction, earning recognition as a trusted soilbuilder and a member of the US Composting Council. Designed for outdoor use, this thermometer provides clear readings that help you understand your pile’s activity and pace the composting process with confidence.
Three-zone readings at a glance
The intuitive dial is divided into three temperature zones, offering a quick indication of compost activity. You can gauge heat buildup, active breakdown, and cooling phases in seconds, reducing guesswork and supporting timely pile management.
Durable, precise construction
With a 16-inch long stem and a 1/4-inch diameter, the stainless steel body is built to endure outdoor conditions. The dial is hermetically sealed to prevent fogging, ensuring a readable display even in humid or chilly weather.
Beginner friendly with a free digital guide
Included is a complimentary digital compost guide that walks you through starting a pile and managing it for efficient production. This practical resource supports both new and experienced backyard enthusiasts as they tune their process to space and needs.
Eco-friendly packaging and reuse tips
The packaging is 100% compostable and printed with soy-based ink, aligning with zero-waste goals. No plastic or Styrofoam is used, and the box can be shredded and added to your compost as browns, extending the life of your materials.
Real-world use and benefits
Place the thermometer near a backyard bed, a compost bin, or a dedicated turning area to monitor heat trends and adjust routine.
