    The Vee Gee soil thermometer gets a high grade in my book. The gauge is well built and more stout than I thought it would be with a very strong and sturdy stem. It has a large dial and large numbers for easy reading (very important in my book), has a large temperature range, stainless steel, pretty responsive and was accurate and needed no calibration (see image). It doesn't bend or flex when pushing into the ground.I use the gauge for soil testing to ensure optimum conditions for seeding lawns and other lawn care uses and I use it to test soil temperatures to ensure my irrigation system is safe from freezing during those late fall season frosts.Note: The description states that the stem is 6", however, the measuring area of the stem is only 5". A none issue for me.I highly recommend this unit for its build, large temperature range, accuracy and readability.
