How do I divide it? Do I have to get it from the root? I tried but
found it very difficult.



My wife digs them up then uses an old butchers saw but any saw such as one
you would use to trim a tree limb (bow saw) would work, sure is faster than
knife or etc. and works well. We used an electric chain saw on one occasion
but it's kind of hard on the chain saw. RM~


I use two garden forks, back to back, and pry them apart.
