Please could someone advise me...  My shallot sets have just been delivered and they're in clumps.  Should I split them (like with garlic) before planting or do I plant the whole thing?  I'm new to this - you'd never guess would you!

Split them and plant them individually.

Many thanks.  I had checked out the growing guide but it didn't answer my question - but you did - so thanks again.
