Good humpday to everyone!! In today’s video I’m gonna show ya how easy it is to plant horseradish root in containers and my plans for it come harvest time!! Check it out and I thank ya for watching!! Dan
Hi Dan. You were on a shout out from Micro Farmer, and I am glad I chose your channel. Horseradish is on my wish list for next season, so I can learn from yours. Thank you.
Horseradish is prolific and somewhat evasive. If you put it in the ground, you may as well give it a name because it will become your new friendemy. LOL
the towne Tulle Lake in N. Cal. use to have a horse radish factory. they sold gift packs with horse radish added to sourcream spread, HR in Mustard or Mayo. etc. it was all so good. i am growing some in a container and the leaves seem to have all the flavor. can i use it too?
Horseradish is one of the best water purifiers on the planet . I read it can purify sewer water ? Great to have on hand in case one needs water purification . Thank You for sharing . I just bought a horse radish plant from the grocery story . I Plan to plant in my flower garden . I took plastic wrapper off put it in water and the leafy green sprout came out the sides at the wider end where it was in water . Which tells me it can sprouts up and down the whole root which makes sense in how you planted it . Plan to plant as you did in a pot then transplant in garden .
Dan in Mississippi – planting horseradish for the first time here in Missouri. How deep does the soil in the pot have to be? Can I use peat moss? I ordered mine from gurneys.
It don't matter how you put it in the ground it will grow, as far as harvesting the first year you sure can you justb won't have very big roots and for that reason most of us who grow it choose to not harvest from first year sprigs or crowns. Now as far as moving your pots indoors once it turns cooler? I had to chuckle at that one. Good luck andv enjoy!
I have grown horseradish for years, but I have never used the root to start it. We take the tops and root them and then plant. We do this every year after our FD horseradish "party" I never thought to use the leaves for pickles. I use bay leaves, but I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks for the great Idea!
This was very helpful! Thank you for the easy info. I’m planting roots for the first time and have them in a bag and no idea how to plant them. This helps!
You are correct that they are invasive. I planted mine like you did as well but I really don't think it matters with horseradish. You will also find, if you haven't already, that those pots are simply not going to contain your plants for long- a few years max, before the entire pot will be filled with roots. I transplanted mine into the ground at that point and they just took off! Today I dug up 7 large "outcroppings" to take to a friend's house to plant them there since he has a lot more property than I do. He is giving me room to plant some Egyptian walking onions, some Hungarian purple stripe garlic, and the horseradish, and in return I am giving him as much garlic and onions as he cares to plant in his own garden plot and the 7 horseradish "outcroppings". Give generously and the good Lord will return it to you "pressed down, shaken together, and running over."
What I've found out is that the smaller end is the "down" side, and 45 degree angle is preferred. Most sources say top of the root at 2" below soil level, but several say just under the surface. I know it's been a couple of years but we're over here in Southwest Missipp by way of New Orleans (by way of other places, come here for my mama's people) and I wanted to say hello.

Hi Dan!
I only found out about 10 years ago horseradish was a root! Lol! Thanks for sharing brother!
I have wanted to grow this too! Can't wait to see how it does!
Wow amazing

Just found your channel today. Hey y’all from Alabama! Do you have any updates on how this grew for you?
I'd plant thicker part slightly higher than thinner end…about to test it…haven't got the root yet…can't wait
That’s a pretty flat 45 degree angle LOL
great video, great in mashed potatoes
That container looks a bit small for growing horseradish. Do you have a clip with the end result?

Just Subscribed Today MERRY Christmas and Happy New Year 2021-2022, Dan from James in Mobile Al.
First thing that caught my eye was the Guinea. My Mom had lots of 'em years ago. Good watch dogs, if you don't mind the crazy noise.

In scandinavia a slice of horseradish root in every Jar of pickle is recomended. A black currant leaf can also be used

Any results on the pickles?
How can you tell if it is to woody to use? Just dug up one 19 inches long in garden
Beet horse radish is the best. Gooogle a Ukranian recipe. You wont be disapointed.
I am planning to order some horseradish can you do a follow up video on your horseradish, I would very much appreciate it.
