When herbs are dried, the oils which create the flavor and aroma are concentrated in the material that remains when the water is removed. Dried herbs are therefore stronger than fresh ones. Try using half as much dried as fresh or twice as much fress as dried and adjust to taste.

A 3-4 inch sprig of thyme will produce a tablespoon, however, a dried sprig of the same length will produce barely a teaspoon.
Dried herbs are normally twice as strong as fresh, so 1/2 a tsp.
