I-thyme esheshayo neyomile isetshenziswa njenge-flavouring ye-culinary.
Kulimazwa futhi ekukhiqizeni amafutha abalulekile. Ngayo yonke i-kilogram ye-thyme entsha efaka inqubo ye-distillation, cishe ama-millilitre angu-8 kuya kwangu-10 amafutha abalulekile akhiqizwa.

Izidingo Zomhlabathi Nokulungiselela

I-Thyme ikhula kahle kakhulu enhlabathini egcwele kahle, enhlabathini enesihlabathi nge-pH ephakathi kuka-6.0 no-7.5.
Ngaphambi kokuba kwenziwe ukulungiswa kwenhlabathi kwenziwa isampula yomhlabathi okumela kufanele ithathwe futhi ithunyelwe ebhokisithri ukuze kuhlaziywe kanye nezincomo zezakhi. I-Thyme inezimpande ezincane ezingajulile futhi izimpande zayo azivamile ukuba zikhule ngokujulile kunezingu-400 mm.
Umhlabathi kufanele udonswe ukuze ukhulule iphrofayli yomhlabathi ibe ngu-400 mm ukuqinisekisa ukudonsa okuhle. Lungisa amazinga we-pH ngokungeza i-lime uma inhlabathi iyasebenza futhi ingeza umquba noma umquba. Pula ungene emhlabathini ophezulu wama-300 mm cishe amasonto amane kuya kwahlanu ngaphambi kokutshala. Ezinsukwini zokugcina ngaphambi kokutshala, faka izici zokulandelela kanye nomanyolo olinganiselayo wokutshala umhlabathi emhlabathini futhi ungangeni emhlabathini ophezulu ka-20 cm. Lokhu kuzosusa nanoma yikuphi ukhula okungase lubekwe. Faka ukuchelela bese utshala izithombo zakho ze-thyme

Isimo Sezulu
