I have horseradish growing in a large pot, all I get are long thin roots... I still use them all the time though as there's nothing like fresh horseradish. What do I need to do to get a fatter root from the plant? Many thanks. Gill :)

Hi Horseradishers! I've just seen this thread. I'm also seeking some horseradish to start me off. If anyone has some left, after all this enthusiasm, please could you post some to me? I can send stamped self addressed post pack.

You can post it in a sealed lock bag wrapped in paper. The few days it is out of soil wont bother it. I would love to have a piece, if you could send me a piece I' happily pay you for it, plus postage costs. Please let me know how to pay you. Many thanks

Apparently it depends on when you add the vinegar for the degree of hotness. The recipe I found on the net said vitamize and then add the vinegar at the very end for maximum bite. Mine made this way was very spicey.
