I don't think a video is needed. When you harvest a bunch from a pstem, then you cut the stalk to its base. Afterwards you bring a spade shovel (that has a "lip" for your foot) along with a sledge hammer. Push the shovel down all the way to soil level all the way around the spent corm -- using the sledge hammer when necessary to get penetration. I take this same approach to removing pups. After a few cycles you'll be an expert.
