I think he says he leaves most of the rhizome to go with the new division,
amputating close to the parent. if at all possible, and there is
substantial length of rhizome, i cut in the middle. sometimes those cuts
die back to the parent anyway...life is full of horrid chances!

other tasty tidbits.  like do you drink Bovril from the jar?
