Hostas , Moving Of .

[grandpajoe]

I have a shady border containing about a dozen Hostas which I will be moving to other people's gardens and pots this Winter. I am getting impatient and want to start the job next week. I think that if I soak the border well over the next few days and dig up the plants, putting then in plastic bags keeping plenty of soil on them I can get away with it. What do you think.
I need to get on with the change now whilst this better weather is with us. Cheers Chris

Sounds good to, so go for it Gramps and watch out for them pesky slugs!

Keep in mind that you don't have to move the whole plant if you want to retain one at its current location. A good sharp shovel can cut off the amount of root you want, leaving the remainder in the ground...
