What I have used for a lot of years was a meat thermometer with the low temp that shows 30 degrees and the upper temp 200. The stem is 6 inches long and the probe has a little tube for a case. The whole thing cost less than $5, but that was about 5 years ago. I think the Wal-Mart site sells meat thermos cheaper than garden soil ones.

Amazon has this one: http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-5989N-C...9777640&sr=1-9

Made by Taylor (good brand) and reads 0-220 degrees. $6.50 but needs to have $35 for free shipping.
