Something we enjoy a lot with beef, beetroot etc. So, I acquired a

The question is; is it a rampageous spreader I would regret letting
loose in the garden, or should it be held captive (perhaps in a large
buried pot)?

Mmm .. great stuff! I doubt it will ever take over the world, despite
its WMD status, but it is a tasty thug best confined to a large pot.
I stopped growing it the day I lifted a root and grated it to make a
sauce to accompany a roast joint of beef.
Never, ever again. It makes onions benign in comparison. People who
grow this stuff should be reported as an environmental hazard!

LOL! You forgot the eye protection, did you?! It's good for clearing
out the sinus, though ;~).
