Thyme is easily controlable but oregano is an illegal alien, it's in
the mint family, so before too very long it will take over your entire
yard, and all your neighbor's yards. I were you I'd go to the hardware
store and buy a large length of chimney flue pipe, bury it in the
ground and plant some of your oregano in it, this way it will be
contained. All the rest zap with RoundUp... make sure you get it all,
show no mercy. This is exactly how to deal with all illegal aliens.
