You really need a maximum/minimum thermometer. And I do mean need. It's fine knowing what the temp is when you walk into the greenhouse, but you need to know how cold & hot it's getting for ventilation/heating purposes.

I got a nice one for just under a tenner from Homebase.

I think this is the link, but I can't get the picture to display at the moment on either browser.

Thermometer

It displays the temperatures both using a conventional mercury "U" shaped glass and also digitally underneath in big numbers for those like me with failing eyesight!

Are the digital min/max ones any good?  :roll:

Not sure what you mean by "any good".

It tells you the max & min temp and that's what you need!

As I can't get the website piccies to display, here's mine...



Not quite as I remembered it!

The two glass thermometers show you the current temperature. One for degrees F and one for degrees C. Why they didn't keep costs down & use one tube with a scale either side is beyond me.

The max & min are displayed digitally underneath. Not sure when I reset it last, but you can clearly see I've had nor frost in there since I did!

Hi DD, I got one from homebase for much the same money but no digital just a u tube and only in degrees c. good enough though.

They're not that expensive really.

I had one of the old mercury ones for years, the type that pushed a marker to the temperature and you reset it by pushing a magnet. Was OK until I dropped it and the mercury thread split up and I couldn't tap it back together!

Are the digital min/max ones any good?  :roll:

the cheap ones no... I have gone through 2 or 3 in 2 years, due to them over heating

going get one like Daves, if we had a homebase

Hey - I have the same Max/Min thermometer as Mr. Tom Head (moderator...whooo) and it was £6 in B & Q a week or so back..amongst the "half price sundries" they have had in the gardening section - I've had about 10 black weed covering tarps, plant labels and polythene, all half price.

V pleased with the M/M thermometer, recorded -9C here overnight a week or so back no problem, is currently reading a cosy 23C inside...mmm
