Question about thyme

I have a very old thyme in one of the window boxes that my mum gave me. It's pretty scraggy and woody, is is something I can prune back? If so, when do I prune? How much? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm very new to all this...

 

Never had much success with cutting back thymes. Certainly they do not seem to shoot from old wood, though there is nothing in the books about it. I would be inclines to peg down the branches and take them off when they are rooted to create new plants. Cuttings are also fairly easy.

 

Hi woo, I think that is what I need to do with our thyme. They always seem to go off after several years, no matter what sort I've tried. Thanks for the tip.

 

Fantastic! Thank you, that's good news indeed. Glad to hear there's hope!

 

gioia mia, can I ask you...how do you use your "THYME" ? I would use it on a pizza....

 

Great infoo WOO
