Hi Dingerbell!
My neighbour Dario's divided some of his and gave them to me last week. From what I saw, he just dug them up and ripped bits off 'em!
He said they would take a few days to perk up after planting and he was right (as per usual). Thought they were dead for a bit but they seen quite chipper this morning :) Just make sure they get watered every day until they're established. He didn't give me any instructions about feeding or compost so I just bunged 'em in.
Hope this helps.
