From Ground: Start by watering the wild garlic plant well to soften the ground. Use a garden fork to gently loosen the soil around the plant, taking care not to harm the root ball. Then, use a shovel or spade to dig a trench around the plant that is wider than the root ball. Carefully work the spade under the root ball and lift the plant from its original location, ensuring to keep the root ball intact.
From Pot: First, water the wild garlic plant. To remove the plant from a pot, gently tip the pot to one side and let gravity assist you in getting the plant and root ball out. Avoid pulling by the stems or leaves as it can damage the plant.
From Seedling Tray: Moisten the soil before proceeding. Push up from the bottom of the tray to remove the seedling. Be sure to handle it by its leaves or root ball (not the stem), as the plant is tender at this stage.
