Soil Thermometer

A Soil Thermometer is a thermometer specifically designed to measure soil temperature - the correct soil temperature is important for good germination. Using a Soil Thermometer is important as although you can measure the air temperature with a standard thermometer, very often the soil temperature will be 1-2 degrees colder than the air temperature - so you may think that it's warm enough to plant your seeds but it still could be considerably too cold below ground.
When determining that the soil temperature is warm enough to start planting, you should measure the temperature for three days, aiming to get a consistent reading over the three days. If the soil temperature is too cold when you plant your seeds then it can result in seed rot, slow germination, growth problems, disease or the plants may die. So investing in a Soil Thermometer and using it before you plant is a simple way of ensuring greater growing success.
