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. -- Regards Bob Use a useful Screen Saver... http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and find intelligent life amongst the stars |

If you have access to any fresh horseradish root, just cut a chunk and bury. As others have posted, it is *extremely* invasive, so should be confined in a pot. Mine grew a shoot through a side drain-hole, which then took root in a pavement crack. |

Probably be OK in an island bed surrounded by grass which gets cut so it can't invade. Make some drainage holes in a plastic dustbin, fill with a peaty compost, and plant them in that. They don't escape, and are easy to harvest and then start a new clone. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Does it have any after effects? Whilst googling for something else a couple of weeks ago I saw Horseradish was on a list of poisonous plants. Is horseradish the same as "radi" radish sold in Bavarian beer halls and festivals in spirals? If so the application of salt removes the bite. |
