With the ball sufficiently stabilized in material, it is ready for transport.

Depending on the distance that the plant has to go, this can be accomplished in a variety of manners.

•Drag/carry it bodily to its destination
•Place it on some sort of skid, and drag
•Ball cart, wheelbarrow, or furniture dolly (human-powered wheeled device)
•Machine-powered device like tractor, etc.

I have done all of the above; the mechanics are all similar. Here is how to do it with a wheeled ball cart. Tip the ball up on its side, and roll the cart up under it.
