STEP BY STEP Divide herbs

-

Split pot-grown herb seedlings and grow them on to keep you supplied with fresh herbs for the rest of the season. At this stage, they will just need a bit more root room in richer compost. They can be grown on in containers or planted out into the garden.

2 GRIP the pot, holding fingers open over the plants then turn it and take the pot off. Put the pot aside to wash and reuse later.

2 PRIZE the rootball apart by pushing fingers into the compost from the side to split the clump into clusters of 3 or 4 plants.

3 POT each cluster into individual pots of multipurpo­se compost. Soak with water, then place on a bench to grow on.
