The Tale: Thymus citriodorus

Interesting fact about thyme!

Like many Mediterranean plants adapted to drought, thyme develops a dual root system.

Firstly, there is the central taproot, which plays a fundamental role by penetrating deeply into the soil or the cracks in rocks.

Secondly, there is a superficial network of very long rootlets capable of capturing even the slightest surface moisture.

The plant is also capable of releasing molecules from its roots that inhibit the germination of other plants through a phenomenon known as allelopathy, which ultimately reduces the need for weeding.

A very useful thing to know for those who would like to reduce their weeding times!
