Re: Which shovel for separating a pup?
I use an iron digging bar, with about a 1" dia handle, and the blade on the bottom is about 1-1/2 to 2" wide. It takes a very sturdy handle to allow yo to pry on the pup. The bigger (wider) the tool, the more you disturb the roots of the parent plant, which can adversely affect fruit size and quantity, esp if you are close to flowering.
