The roots of the horseradish plant make a flavoursome ingredient that’s grated in a variety of dishes and meals.
Horseradish is very easy to grow and spreads quite rapidly, so it’s advised to plant in large containers or raised beds for easier control.
Horseradish is a hardy perennial plant and enjoys deep, well-drained soil worked in with well-rotted farmyard manure.
Try to grow it in a sunny or part sunny location.
Horseradish can be grown from seed, however it’s far easier and more common to grow it from individual root pieces called thongs.
Thongs should be planted into outside containers or beds in March or April.
Fill a 12inch (30cm) pot with compost and plant three thongs about 2inches (5cm) below the surface. Fill the soil in over the thongs.
After the autumn foliage dies back, the plant can be harvested. If the plant has been exposed to frost, this will improve the flavour.
To harvest ground plants, dig around the roots and gently raise the plant from the soil.
Container plants can be turned up and the rooted horseradish removed. Keep some of the plants and replant in fresh soil for a crop next season.
