Hahaha. I made that same mistake with mint. I hate it now. It took me so long to get rid of.

You don't need to worry about corsican mint taking over. It's actually possible to kill it off just by not watering it enough. I've actually killed off two batches of this precious mint.

Look it up you might like a small pot of it. It's the same mint creme de methe is made from!

I'm gonna wire my thyme around a very nice piece of sanstone I found. I'm gonna let it sit in the ground over the winter and in the spring examine the root structure. I'm hopefull it will take nicely to the rock.

be carful with useing sandstone for root over rock plantings. sandstone deteroirates fast and the roots over time will crush the rock and leave you with just a exposed root planting...hmmm i think i just discovered a technique to use

UPDATE


Unfortunately my herbal thyme bonsai passed on....... Technically I dealt the final blow but still it died...

A stubborn case of powdery mildew totally destroyed one half the leaf area so I decided to call it quits. Nevertheless it served its purpose and allowed me to practice many techniques on it.

My final advice would be to definitely watch out for fungal infections on thyme bonsai.

Thyme is a dry-climat eplant. It doe snot deal well with too regular watering I suppose.

Yeah...poor thing. Nevertheless, it does make a fun practice bonsai specimen. I would definitly suggest keeping thyme well drained and dry.

Well, it took about a year but my thyme bonsai is back and ready for action! Before it moved onto to its final reward I removed large portions of its roots and buried them within the garden. Taking care to water and wait for any signs of life. Today, I am pleased to announce that I was able to salvage some of the thyme root and now I have a successful and full looking thyme bush again.

Currently, I have it in a medium sized pot which contains a mixture of Turface and potting mix. However, I feel that it is time (no pun intended) to get my herb into a traditional bonsai container.

However, first I must ask for advice on the particulars involved.

1. When should I re-pot thyme?
2. What soil mixture would work for a hardy herb?

I have ideas and theories for how to proceed but since I killed my thyme once already I would like some ideas.
