First of all, wear long sleeves, gloves, and eye protection when working with a yucca plant. The strappy leaves are slightly serrated and pointy, easily cutting hands and damaging eyes.

Use a sharp shovel and try to dig as deep as possible so that you don't disturb the roots any more than necessary. Fertilize and water well after replanting. Press firmly on soil to remove any air pockets which could lead to rot. Good luck!

Some people use "rain barrels" to collect water for the purpose of watering their trees and shrubs. This technique does not work well where the water may freeze overnight.
