I'd like to grow horseradish but have never seen plants / seeds
for sale.
Any ideas where I might be able to get hold of one or the
other?
All help appreciated
cheers

Careful Dan, it can take over and is difficult to dig out, it
having
such
long roots. Planted it once but I would think seriously before I
did
it
again.
Probably be OK in an island bed surrounded by grass which gets
cut
so it
can't invade.

What will it be like in, say, a 9" pot?

Short? How about in a longer piece of plastic drain pipe?

How long are those roots then?

I've read about 2ft.

that was about what I thought.

I did a lot of googling, but couldn't find a site that gave the size
of the root, although several sites gave the size of the plant above
ground.



3 weeks ago I got hold of 2 horseradish plants. Put it in a bed in a
not-much-used corner of my allotment.

Did some reading up about it.....

Last weekend I lifted it again (careful not dig well under and around it)
and re-planted it in a full-size-cheapo-wickes-dustbin (minus the bottom,
cut out for drainage) that I'd just sunk in the ground.
