Product Details

Temperature plays an important role in the composting cycle. This easy to read dial in Fahrenheit scaled from 0 to 220 make temperature reading a breeze. The Compost Thermometer has a 48cm (19") long probe for testing the very middle of the compost heap. It is stainless steel, so will not rust when exposed to moisture. The ideal temperature range for compost is 57-71°C (135-160°F). At that high temperature weed seeds and insect eggs are killed, resulting in compost that is completely safe to use in a food garden situation. These high temperatures are achieved through the correct layering of green and brown waste in the pile, along with good aeration.

How To Grow Compost Thermometer

Growing

This blend of Micro-clover and Tall Fescue seeds takes a two-pronged approach at defeating the chafer beetle. This blend is meant for use with new, bare topsoil, and not for over-seeding existing lawns. Keep the newly seeded area well-watered as the seedlings take root. Onceestablished, this lawn will require regular maintenance, but it will stay greener for longer in the summer, and it will stand up to foot (and pet) traffic in areas of full sun to partial shade. Clover may go dormant over winter, and may appear to die back, so the fescue in this blend will keep lawns looking healthy and vibrant. This blendcontains95% Tall Fescue and 5% Micro-clover.

Starting

Spread the seed on bare soil, with no turf present, at a rate of 3.6kg (8 lb) per 1000 square feet. Seeding over existing thatch is rarely successful. Because lawn spaces tend to be large, we recommend erring on the side of caution.It’sa good ideato withhold 15-20% of seeds for filling in any bald areas later. All new plantings should be kept damp until the plants areestablished.

Timing

Sow in the period two weeks before, to eight weeks after, the last frost date. Or, in areas with mild winters, sow in early autumn, approximately eight weeks before the first frost date.
