Swap your boring lawn grass with red creeping thyme. Here is WHY??

you can replace grass with red creeping thyme in some areas of your yard or garden, as it makes an excellent ground cover. It grows 3 inches tall (true), requires no mowing (true), is edible and puts off a “lovely lemony scent” (true, but some describe it as "minty" and this varies by season and habitat), can repel mosquitoes (true), is better for local biodiversity (true), and grows year-round (true, though this depends on where you are located).

Red creeping thyme is a low-growing plant that forms a dense mat of foliage, which is ideal for suppressing weed growth and erosion control. It also produces fragrant pink or purple flowers that attract bees and other pollinators.

However, before replacing your entire lawn with red creeping thyme, consider the amount of foot traffic the area receives. Red creeping thyme is not as durable as grass and can be easily damaged by frequent foot traffic. It is also not suitable for areas with heavy shade or soil that stay consistently moist.

Replacing grass with red creeping thyme can be a great choice in the right circumstances, such as sunny areas with low foot traffic. But for high-traffic areas or areas with shade or damp soil, it may not be the best option.

I bought 2 packets of red thyme seeds and threw some of them on vacant lots. Can't wait to see them grow and spread throughout the center of the boulevard and the vacant lots near my house. 😅

I'm gonna buy it at my local garden center, (not big box stores) and plan on planting with my lavender grosso plants to block out the weeds that are never ending.
Depending on how well it grows, I may plant some in my back yard with my clover lawn.

Is it good for a rock bed? Maybe it can cover the weeds that keep popping up in the rock bed.

What are the cons? I really want it but when I look it up I’m not getting a straight answer. Does it attract animals?
