Is this true?** A: If they mean "to register" for the temperature to read correctly, absolutely not. I stick it in my compost and have a reading in about 1 to 2 minutes at the most. I'm sure if I left it longer it might settle to an "exact" temp but I'm not doing a scientific experiment, I'm just wanting to know where my compost pile is at. As long as I'm within a degree or 2 I'm satisfied. **Q: Can this thermometer be calibrated if needed?** A: There is not any info about calibrating this thermometer in the very informative text on the package or in the video on this product on their website. It's a "backyard" compost thermometer, not an extremely accurate scientific instrument. It worked great for me, revealing what stage the compost breakdown was at and when it was done, at 4 weeks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little compost checker *by D***N on May 19, 2025* New to composting and love this.
