How Do You Remove Yellow Hawkweed from the Soil?

From Ground: Firstly, water your yellow Hawkweed to make the surrounding soil easier to work with. Next, use a spade or shovel to carefully dig around the plant, ensuring you leave a generous amount of soil around the root ball. Gently work your tool beneath the roots to lift the plant out with minimal disturbance.
From Pot: Begin by watering your yellow Hawkweed to moisten the soil. Turn the pot sideways and hold the plant by its base while softly tapping the container to loosen the soil. Ease the plant out and gently remove excess dirt while keeping the root ball intact.
From Seedling Tray: Water the tray to ensure the soil is not dry. Use a hand trowel or a similar tool to carefully lift the soil and root mass of the yellow Hawkweed from its cell. Be gentle to avoid breaking the delicate roots.

Removal
Follow the instructions under 'removal_process' to safely lift your yellow Hawkweed from its previous location without harming it.
