Newbie here. I just received a bag of several horseradish roots from a

I am wondering how do I keep them coming back? I mean if I

but I have never grown horseradish or any root before. Any information

well, this would count as repetition (newbie who grows horseradish and
wonders how to grow them as opposed to how to stop it). Truth be told,
I placed my horseradish in a fairly shady, poor soil, sandy corner of
my property, and it has never really prospered. Killing it is another
matter. I once weeded it unadvertently, and the root survived
underground two years without getting any food. The sorrel right next
to it grows like crazy.

But that is that particular corner. 99% of the time (like at my
parents place, in heavy clay) the horseradish corner becomes
horseradish only, you start considering horseradish sorbet as a way to
use all that stuff, and finally you start having nightmares of
horseradish taking over the whole yard. The spring leaves are a decent
salad green when they are about two inches. This will help you
tolerate the infestation.
