Default is it hard to grow thyme in pots?

What do you mean by 'standard compost', and how often do you change
it (report or whatever)? The problem for plants like thyme with
the soilless composts is that the composts break down, and stop being
free-draining.

I managed to kill even some butterwort that way :-(
