Sage sage professionally - so you do it right
After 3 to 4 years on the same site, sage has deprived the soil of most nutrients. High time for transplanting, so that the perennial still provides an aromatic harvest for many years. The following instructions show how to do it.
These two dates are available
For sage to be quickly rooted after transplanting, two dates are possible. In early spring, the measure can be perfectly combined with the main section. As an alternative, the late summer offers from mid-August to mid-September, because the herb then stopped growing.
Instructions for a skilled transplanting

When the roots are free, this is an excellent opportunity for multiplication or rejuvenation by division. If you want more specimens, cut the bale into several segments. It is important to note that each section has at least 2-3 buds.
Planting at the new place
Choose as a new location a sunny, warm location. There should have been no other labiates in culture before. A loamy sandy soil is ideal. Here you dig the planting hole and enrich the excavation with a handful of compost and algal lime. Plant the sage exactly as deep as it used to, soil the soil and water it with plenty of water.
Tips & Tricks
