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.

What will it be like in, say, a 9" pot?

Short? How about in a longer piece of plastic drain pipe?

How long are those roots then?

I've read about 2ft.


3 weeks ago I got hold of 2 horseradish plants. Put it in a bed in a
not-much-used corner of my allotment.

Did some reading up about it.....

Last weekend I lifted it again (careful not dig well under and around it)
and re-planted it in a full-size-cheapo-wickes-dustbin (minus the bottom,
cut out for drainage) that I'd just sunk in the ground.

that was about what I thought.

I did a lot of googling, but couldn't find a site that gave the size
of the root, although several sites gave the size of the plant above
ground.

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.

I don't think we will eat enough horseradish in all of our remaining
years to warrant anything like it.
We'll just have to go on buying it at the grocer. {:-))

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.

No.
How do you prepare it?
What does it taste like?
Does the preparation get rid of the bite?
Does it have any after effects?
