From Ground: First, water the alfalfa plant to dampen the soil. Then, dig a wide trench around the plant using a shovel or spade, ensuring the plant's root ball remains intact. Carefully work the spade under the root ball to lift the alfalfa plant from its original location.
From Pot: Water the alfalfa plant in the pot to moisten the soil. Turn the pot upside down while supporting the alfalfa plant with one hand, and tap the bottom of the pot to release the plant, root ball, and soil. Handle the plant by its root ball, not the stem.
From Seedling Tray: Gently water the alfalfa seedlings in the tray. Using a trowel or a spoon, carefully lift the seedlings out of the tray by scooping underneath the root ball. Be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate roots of the alfalfa seedlings.
