Wilko Thermometer Digital Minimum/Maximum | Thermometer | | Garden Wellies from Wilkinson Plus

its sure beating the price of others I have researched thus far! I have it in the lean-to GH now and may well by another one for when I complete the DIY Polytunnel which is now just about ready for the cover I will post the update pictures of that on my other thread

I've got the same one bought it around this time last year and thoroughly bored Mr Pots telling him the daily readings.

Actually I went a little shopping Crazy whilst there I bought all manner of things I was glad to get out of there in the end still with a few shekels still in my wallet!
All in all I was pleased as punch with all the products I got garden related and mini door hinges,even the white primer paint for the woodwork on the diy polytunnel end framing and doors

I have just brought two of these from Marshall Seeds, around twice the price. But my nearest Wilko is almost 200 miles, so I can’t just pop out to see what they have. Are well that’s life.

I have one in the Lean-to GH and one in the poly. Only been recording the temperatures for a week, but have already shown that the GH is 2-4 degrees warmer at night.

I've bought some 'in and out'/ max min digital thermometers on Ebay similar to this:

Digital In/Out Min/Max Thermometer on eBay (end time 10-Mar-11 15:09:27 GMT)

A cheaper one actually lasted 3 years! They're useful for experimenting with how efficient coldframes are etc. and I also put the probe inside one of my beehives when one night in december it was 20c inside near the middle of the cluster and -5c outside.

I'm glad there's not one of these Wilkinsons in S London, just pricey garden centre shops, or I'd spend a fortune!.

Just checked my local one they are back to out of stock glad I acted so quickly upon receipt of the email they sent saying they had them in
I know what you about spending too much in places like this the thing is the quality I find is rather good okay on stuff that you know will only last a season or two I can use those poundland shops for that but I think its better by far with other items to use places like good old Wilkos ;-)

When SWMBO bought me a weather station from Maplins a couple of years ago I was really surprised at how accurate it was for local forecasting.

It has a radio transmiter thermometer which sits in the green house sending its signal back to the station in the lounge and logs high/low tempertures. Had it 6 months before I found out you could set an alarm so that when the temp drops below a given mark it reminds you to nip out and light the heater.
