Does Thyme Like Wet Soil

For best results, feed regularly with a water-soluble plant food. Keep soil moist and water when the top inch of soil becomes dry. Once thyme is established, harvest as needed but avoid pruning more than one-third of the plant at a time.

Does thyme like wet or dry soil?

The easy-going herb prefers sandy or loamy soil instead of moist soil, and can even thrive in rocky gravel. Thyme grows quickly, so space your plants at least 1 foot apart from each other when adding to your garden.

Can you overwater thyme?

It’s important to keep thyme well-watered, but not overwatered. It’s best to give thyme plants a thorough watering only when the soil feels dry to the touch.
