I love horseradish.. Just love it.. Not that crap sauce that's mixed
with mayo.. The good stuff that's blended up into a spicy paste.


Mmmmmmmmmmm.


Anyway.. Since it seems invasive I was wondering if it could be grown
within a container?


Yes


I don't see any reason why not.. Seems like a good idea, and if I used a
wash tub type of container it'd be wide and allow alot of root growth.


I figure then I can harvest the outside root growth and leave the inside
for regrowth in the next season.


Sound like a plan, or am I nuts?


It's fine


Hmmm.. Would I have to bring it in, or could it winter outside?


My climate isn't that cold but i think the top will die off and the roots go
dormant through winter. �If you want to be sure keep some roots over winter.

Good deal.. Sounds like I was spot on with that idea.. Thanks! - Hide quoted text -


You really need a container without a bottom... horseradish will grow
well contained inside a buried clay chimney flue liner.
