Q: Why would I need a min-max thermometer for my garden?
It is useful when growing frost-tender plants in cold frames, greenhouses or window wells, where it is important to know the full range of temperatures the plants experience.
AB803 - Min-Max Thermometer
When growing frost-tender plants in cold frames, greenhouses or even window wells, it is critical to know what range of temperatures your plants are subject to.
This thermometer will do just that. The operating mechanism is a bimetal strip that bends one way if heated, and the opposite way if cooled. The red marker is pushed to the right as temperature rises, and the blue marker is pushed to the left as temperature drops. Each marker rests at the minimum or maximum temperature marking, shown in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, until reset by hand.
The 5" diameter case has a teardrop aperture in the back for hanging it on a screw or nail on a wall or fence.
An ideal gift for people who want to know just how hot or how cold it gets each day, whether they are gardeners or not. Good value for the money.

No, it operates on a bimetal strip mechanism that bends with temperature changes, so no batteries are needed.
The red marker shows the maximum and the blue marker shows the minimum, each displayed in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, until you reset them by hand.
A teardrop aperture on the back of the case lets you hang it on a screw or nail.
