Default Shrubs half dead

Tease them out gently under/with a gentle trickle/flow of water of the right
temperature, but don't soak them

Ray is opposed to teasing out roots in general, as he thinks people
often do more harm than good. But sometimes, if you get something
really compacted, it's necessary but only in the gentlest way and with
no forcing.
