Thyme Lawns
A thyme lawn is a soft yet strong
variety of creeping thyme and there are several colors thyme to
choose from. Not only is this naturally lovely looking ground cover beautiful, it is also extremely easy to care for, and most importantly uses much less water.
Other features of established thyme lawns are no fertilizer are needed, just
organic amendments when planting, You will also not have to aerate or thatching
not to mention mowing can be limited to deadheading after the plants have
bloomed. Once established many varieties of thyme can thrive will little care.You should be able to find this plant in 3 ways, a gallon container, 6 pack and mud flats (a 16 inch flat that can be cut into pieces). If you can't plant when you get it home make sure to water while you wait to plant.
Planting thyme is just like any other plant here in the high desert, add compost or soil amendment and make sure the area has been watered and plant. Thyme like other ground cover plants has a short root system and will need water 3 to 4 times a week for the first week or two, once it cools down water weekly, then biweekly. Water once a month over the winter if we don't get rain or snow during the winter months. Feed with worm casting in the fall and spring.
