Horseradish will grow in full sun or part shade. It is a very hrdy plant and will spread rapidly in good conditions. To contain it you can plant it in a large planter pot and sink the pot into the ground. Horseradish loves damp conditions and in this situation will produce the best roots but will still do well with less water. Trust this helps

Horse radish would normally be harvested when it is dormant but there's no reason why you couldn't dig down beside the plant an bandicoot a few roots for your favourite source! Horseradish is very hardy and any piece left in the ground will grow. Trust this helps.

Horseradish would normally be harvested in the winter when it is dormant but there is no reason why you couldn't dig down beside the plant and raid a few root pieces. the plant is almost indestructable and any small pieces of root left in the ground will grow. keep the manure, water and mulch up for good quality roots. trust this helps.

Horse radish will be in leaf by now. You should be able to get it from places like Green Harvest' online. I am happy to send you a few pieces of root from my plants if you can't find it. Reply to this email if you want some. It is very easy to grow from pieces of root. just plant them with the thickest end level with the soil and they will soon sprout. Trust this helps.

Hi John, We have been looking for horseradish for months and can only find it on ebay. Not to keen on buying plants online. If you still have some to spare I would be more than happy to pay for postage. Thanks Dave
