Well, I've searched and searched (here, google, etc) and haven't really found an answer to a question I'm having. The brewery near me is getting rid of alot of their hop plants and I've been selected to take some. Now, I don't want to be too greedy and take the whole rhizome ball (but I just might).
What's the best way to just get a few rhizomes (lightly dig at the base of the plant, exposing the roots and breaking a side shoot off?) or is it just best to dig out the whole root ball (keep the dirt on or should I wash the dirt off and transplant?)
Also, if I dig the hole thing out, how far down should I dig? A shovel's depth?
