From Ground: First, water the summer savory plant to dampen the soil. This helps keep its roots intact while removing them. Use a gardening fork to gently loosen the soil around the roots before carefully lifting the root with your hands or a trowel. Carefully work the tool under the root ball to lift the plant from its original location, ensuring you lift as much of the root ball as possible.
From Pot: Before you begin, water the summer savory plant thoroughly, then turn the pot sideways and gently tap the rim on a firm surface. The plant should slide out with the soil and root ball intact.
From Seedling Tray: Gently push the summer savory plant from the bottom of the tray, using your fingers or a blunt object like a pencil's back end. Hold the seedling by its leaves to avoid damage when lifting it out.
