Of all the methods of reproduction for thyme, the most successful is planting seeds. Thyme has a lot of seeds, and as a result, more plants are obtained than when dividing or cutting. It is important to determine the right place for sowing, prepare the plot and take care of the seedlings. Choosing a place to land. Thyme grows in an open and well-lit area. It is not planted on paths between trees or in other shaded places. A front garden or an alpine slide is suitable for cultivation. Soil preparation. The soil for planting should be porous. Seeds are sown in early spring or late autumn. If you plan to plant in early spring, then in the fall the site is dug up to loosen the soil. At the same time, the roots are removed from the weeds. Compost or mineral phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied to the soil. Before planting, the soil cannot be fertilized with manure, it is not needed for thyme. In the spring, the soil is loosened again and urea is introduced. Seeds are sown a day after fertilizing the soil. Sowing seeds in the ground. For sowing, you need to choose days when the weather has already established without frost. We need a warm and not rainy time. When sowing in rows, a distance of at least 30 cm is made between them. Thyme is growing and it needs a place. Experienced gardeners recommend sprinkling the sowing with river sand. The minerals contained in it will enrich the soil
