Splitting And Transplanting Hosta - Step By Step 

I must be the only gardener that loves gardening but not getting dirty haha Thanks for the tips.

I am a hosta-lover. I have grown hostas over 20 yrs., from my Grandmother’s lawn to my parents’ tapestries. Thanks for sharing your beautiful hostas with us. Darlene

Hands down one of the best lawn care professionals in the game. The passion shows

Thank you!! I have heard they’re easy to break and transplant and after your video I’m a believer. We’ve got lots of them in the front yard and now some are going around back. You saved me a lot of money! Thanks

This about the 5th video I have watched concerning dividing and transplanting Hostas. My compliments to you on the numerous little hints and tricks that you described along the way. Thanks i will be dividing mine tomorrow

love the multiple camera angles. very professional

I am just seeing this channel for the first time. Been loving seeing the submissions people send in following your plan. Now seeing your channel I see I have been missing out on some quality tips and #Lawncare tips. Thanks The Lawn Care Nut

Thank you so much. Best instruction on transplanting hostas

Hey Allyn, I am a landscaper from long island New York,I stumbled upon your channel the other day and am a big fan!!!! please keep up the good work and ill see you in the lawn :)

Hosta la vista baby! Nice way to grow you own greenery. Looks great!

Great tips with practical advice. Very helpful. Thanks.

Thank you!!! I'm splitting hostas for my mom today. THIS HELPS SOOO MUCH!!

I like all the different camera views. Made the video even better.

Natural division is always a good thing!!!

Looking good. Love hostas. By far my favorite for landscaping. I have a giant elephant ear that is probably 5ft in diameter. I like river rock so I can use my leaf blower in it. Weeds are an issue at times though even with a weed barrier mat.

"I may not be the most interesting man in the world, but when I am, I transplant hostas to perfection."

You know, if you get a composter, you can dispose of veg matter from your kitchen AND, in the fall when your planter flowers are done for the season, that soil and leftover flowers can go into the composter. Stir the composter goodies once in awhile and come Spring, you will have beautiful, black, healthy compost that you can mix in with fresh soil or spread around existing plants to give them a boost. Best of all, it is free and you are recycling your kitchen vegs.

Love ur videos! U r always so detailed and I love the different placement shots like aerial view, etc - tfs!

Hosta la vista baby!

Great video! Very detailed! I feel much more confident about splitting my hosta I got from my parent's home MANY years ago! Thanks!

Awesome! Great video, great info!

Very helpful! I was looking to buy some because I love them im my backyard. I can now save money by dividing them and vring some to front.

I usually use a spading fork for this....minimizes root damage and creates rough sides in the new hole. (I know Hostas are tough) And a home made serrated knife, not shovel, to cut divisions. (the knife I use is an old chef's knife and used a triangular file to cut serrations. works better than a spade.)

Nessa, I've used garbage bags in my vegetable garden. The bags seemed to work very well. I believe you'll get some weeds regardless though from seedlings that drift and land on the top side of your barrier. Just my thoughts.

Thank you enjoyed your video LAWN CARE NUT

Hahahah. Nice video. U seem to really like what you do! :) keep making more vids! Ty

Nice work!

Nice advice... Thanks

I love the hostas, but looking at your beds, I have a question on another topic. About 20 years ago, I made beds like yours with small decorative pebbles. I have weed block under it, but after so many years, all I do is pick weeds. I’d like to redo the beds. I know it will be a huge project because of the rocks. I am envisioning, removing all the rocks with a shovel (ugh) and placing them on a tarp in the driveway. I feel like I then need to wash them somehow to remove all of the weed pollen to prevent regrowth. Am I correct? How would you wash the rocks? How would you redo your beds? Additionally, what type of weed block do you use under your pebbles?

Thank you very informative

Thanks for the info! I live in Ontario and every year before winter sets I cut down my hostas. Can I divide and transplant in early fall and trim the hosta the way I always have?

This reminds me of "this old house" from the 90s

Hi I live in Britain 🇬🇧 & have soooooo much trouble with slugs & sails, eating my hostas Iv noticed you have pea shingle does this prevent damage by these blighters?? Iv got mine in tubs away from the wall with copper around egg shells around & coffee grounds & they still get to them?????

what is the name of the sold green on in front of the one you are splitting? I think i have that but dont know its name...?

Good work Allyn, landscape looked really clean there. I have 2 euonymus (sp?) plants side by side to each other. I would like to transplant one to the other side of the house. How well do these plants take to it? Take care

Mine have inch thick rizomes. I was hoping to get a clue about well-established plants...

Can u talk a lil bit more about weed blocker cloth on ur next video? I've used a few kinds of cloths and weeds go right thru. Some people suggest using garbage bags?!? Or newspaper. Any suggestions would be great thx!

Why not add Osmocote to the bottom of the planting area?

is there a better time of yr to do this or anytime is good?

Can you provide any advice with yellow nutsedge ???

First viewer right here

Why are planting the Hosta? in full SUN ? Hosta do not like HOT SUN ??

Ouch!

Bring back these glasses

haha, what's with dominating the cop so much?

Good information. Please leave the trick photography and cute stuff to the pros. Just simple photography with wide shots so we can see what's going on.
