Don't do anything but dig up everything you need (or can find).
There will _always_ be enough small pieces to grow new roots.
When you buy horseradish from nurseries, you get a bundle of the small
lateral roots to plant as root cuttings.

What's the difference between true love and horseradish?

Horseradish is forever!



Rather than grind up all of it and have it go stale on me, I assume I
can freeze big pieces to thaw whenever I want fresh HR?
