I love Horseradish so I grew some this year in a big tub. A fellow gardner told me to isolate it or it would take over. My question is, how do I harvest it? I think it is a perennial so how much root do you take? Any help on this topic or recipes would be appreciated :)

I look forward to reading the replies! I too have horseradish - given a few pieces from a friend who's Mom brought it over from Lithuania about 50 years ago. So far it's contained, but I too want to harvest some so it doesn't take over.

Yes Horse radish does take over I dig at the most 3/4 of the crop and scub and peel the root just get all dirt off. Most important do this outside if can, I use my food processor and grid it but it is very strong about makes you ill then I put vingar and salt on it and put in jars and in the frig. It will keep all winter and then I make it creamy to put on table using mayo or mircle whip which ever you prefer. It's great to have on hand. At my sons wedding it stole the show. Have fun and be careful
