Hey guys, I've got a question about how to plant creeping thyme between pavers. Any thoughts on the best way to go about it?

The first thing you'll want to do is pick the perfect thyme to get started! Make sure your garden spot has good drainage. You can loosen the soil using a small shovel or garden fork. Then, it's time for the exciting part — planting those thyme seeds! Space them about 6-8 inches apart. Once in the ground, please give them water to help the soil stick together.

First, gently clear the gaps between the paving stones of any weeds and other small bits and pieces. Then, you can either plant those lovely little potted thyme plants straight into the spaces, leaving a few inches between each one, or scatter thyme seeds—mixed with sand, of course—into the cracks. Gently cover the seeds with soil and keep them moist until they sprout.

Hi... you're so genius! I never think about that !!
You can repair the soil, which is the first step when planting this thyme between paving blocks. Start by gently removing any weeds and removing them as close to the root as possible. Then, place your little thyme plant in a small pot, leaving about six inches between each plant. Gently bury the roots, ensuring they're well-covered, and use your fingers to compact the soil gently. To help keep the soil moist, you can mix the planting medium with sand.
