Default hygrometer and thermometer

These items are available at a lot of different places. Carter & Holmes
(online) has min/max thermometers ($27), but so does Home Depot, which
is where I got mine. Most online orchid supply places have hygrometers,
but my experience has been that they vary in accuracy. My most accurate
hygrometer is a cheap one that I got at a local nursery. BTW,
Charley's Greenhouse is a good Internet source for orchid tools.


Charley's Greenhouse is a great place to overpay for things....by a
huge margin.

I have been using a max/min digital hygrometer/thermometer that I got
from Farmtek for $22. It seems to be pretty accurate when compared to
my 'olde tyme' cheap dial hygrometer....it drifts a little at the low
range, but if my greenhouse is at 20% humidity, do I care if my
hygrometer says it's 10%???

The Farmtek item # is 102447 (the new catalog arrived today).
