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.

It's fine

My climate isn't that cold but i think the top will die off and the roots go
dormant through winter. If you want to be sure keep some roots over winter.

You really need a container without a bottom... horseradish will grow
well contained inside a buried clay chimney flue liner.

Hmmm.. Ok, I'm game for trying that..
Question.. When buying starters, should I go with sets or crowns.. What
the heck is the difference?
