Default Removing Large Plants from Pot.....Tips??

Hi,

I've got a dwarf bamboo that has totally filled a 15" decorative pot.
I want to remove it from the pot and plant it in the garden. Of
course, nothing is that easy; the pot has a pinched in rim!!

Has anyone any useful tips that will enable me to extract the rootball
without cracking the pot? The pot has quite a large 'mouth' and it
has reasonably thick walls.

Thank you


BTDTGTTS!

smash the pot, use the bits as crocke in futre more sensibly shaped pots!
