Horseradish in Containers?
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? 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? Hmmm.. Would I have to bring it in, or could it winter outside? Zone 6b, Kentucky, as always. |

If you want to be sure keep some roots over winter. David |

I've noticed that the fresh h'radish roots at the supermarket are showing some little green sprouts at the crown. I'd just buy a root at the store and use most of it and plant the crown. (I've been considering doing just that, but I don't want it to take over my garden) Bob |

Starters I'd found are around 3 crowns for $5 or 5 sets for $6. I'm assuming that the sets are the offshoot roots.. Wonder which would be better to grow off of. As for taking over the garden, that's why I was asking about keeping it in containers.. I've got several rubbermaid containers used during moving that I can drill holes in, dump rocks in the bottom and fill with soil.. Was thinking of just growing them out in there. Would certainly make harvesting easier.. |

I have grown it in my garden for years and it hasen't taken over. I just
till along the row to keep it where it belongs and I crop 1/2 the row one year and the other 1/2 the next. I replant the crowns where I just dug them. That way I get nice big roots. From Mel & Donnie in Bluebird Valley http://community.webtv.net/MelKelly/TheKids |
