Grow it in a container Emery or on a piece of waste land well away from your own land. I know a place with Japanese knotweed, I wonder if the horseradish would compete with it! -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |

I haven't tried that because I hope they'll have enough lovely sun-ripened sweetness of their own. Yes, I am an optimist! Ime, once you have horseradish you've got it and that's that! For years, I had it coming up in the middle of a flower bed and never did get rid of it, try as I might! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

In fact it is you who do. Sorry, but he is right. The Bavarians do serve spiral cut horseradish in beer halls and beer gardens, not spiral cut radishes. http://www.muenchen.de/int/en/restau...r-gardens.html That statement on that page is wrong. Probably an error when translated from German to English. The spiral cut thing served as 'Radi' in bavarian beer gardens is always a big white radish, nerver ever a horseradish. Zefix! Matthias |

I gave up salt because of health reasons and within a few days realised how many flavours I had been missing. Steve Odd, that, because I cut down on salt for years until an infection all but killed my sense of taste. Now that I (feel) I have to use more salt again, I find salt increases flavours. -- Spider.

And means I'll never have to share my meal with a slug :~). It is low salt, so I've got a slightly higher lower life expectancy. I wouldn't bet on that, part of the sodium is replaced with Potassium "Unfortunately not everyone should use a sodium-replacement salt. If you have kidney disease, or are taking certain blood pressure medications, a large increase in potassium could be harmful. Please check with your doctor before using a sodium-replacement salt." "Low-sodium salts typically replace some of the sodium in sodium chloride with potassium, so they're a mixture of sodium and potassium chloride. Potassium chloride does have a salt-like taste, but there's a reason we've been sprinkling our steaks exclusively with sodium-infused crystals for thousands of years -- potassium chloride can kill you. Potassium chloride is the principle positive ion in our body's cells and can help lower blood pressure. Unfortunately, it can also stop your heart. In fact, potassium chloride, while safe in small dosages, is the toxin of choice for many states' lethal injection procedures, so it's definitely not something you want to ingest in excess. Most low-sodium salts advise you to consult a doctor before consuming, but if you ask us, it's safer to just stay away from non-food products, especially if they can kill you." |

Thanks for the support Matthias.

Thanks Gary, wilco.

Hey, I'm hypokalemic (that is, my blood is potassium poor) and I still don't want to eat any non-food products... which is not to say that the stuff would raise my potassium either. Some of us just don't absorb the stuff correctly, no matter how much of it we eat. -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |
