Good advise....

Attach a string to your thermometer BEFORE you shove it, deep, into the compost pile, to check the temp.

Don't ask...........

Uh oh!! Don't you just hate it when you do something like that!! How long do you think it will take to compost that???

Hahahahahaha....I would think, at least, 3 extra days.

I guess this is the compost-pile version of why, when you take a horse's temperature, there should always be a string attached to the thermometer. For anyone to whom this is unclear, I should point out that you do not take a horse's temperature from the front end of the horse.

In comparison, that doesn't make losing your thermometer in a compost pile, so bad after all!!!!

I was using a "turkey frying" thermometer....just a great old big thermometer with a metal clip.
