From Ground: First, water the black mustard plant so the soil is damp, which makes it easier to remove. Use a spade or shovel to dig around the plant make sure you dig wide enough so not to damage the roots. Once you’ve dug down deep enough, carefully lift the plant from the ground to keep as much of the rootball intact as possible.
From Pot: Water the black mustard plant making the soil damp. Then, gently tilt the pot on its side and carefully ease the plant out. If the plant holds firm, you might need to tap the bottom of the pot to loosen it.
From Seedling Tray: First, water the tray to moisten the soil. This allows for an easier removal and keeps the rootball together. Carefully hold the stem of the black mustard plant, and with your other hand, push up from the base of the cell or pot to lift the plant out. Handle by the rootball and not by the stem or leaves.
