Re: New question

Around here (corn and soybean country), soil temperatures are given on our local TV news in the spring. Perhaps your local extension has an ag educator who could help?

Anybody out there use a soil thermometer? If so, which one, and are you happy with it.
Occurs to me I need one, if for no other reason than to figure out when to plant beans--local garden writers say when soil is 60 degrees; OFA says April 15 [actually April 24 if you buy into the moon stuff]--so are they more or less the same? Only one way to find out as near as I can tell.
