We are at cross purposes. I am referring to the way that soilless
composts break down - and that can be due to just rainfall. How
often did/do you repot, for example?

I have only re-potted the thyme this year after 4 years, that I only did
because it had got very leggy and woody, the others (all planted 3-4
years ago) I have not re-potted. Whether it was soiless compost or not I
do not know, the bags it came is are long gone.
