An unpleasant feature of horseradish deprives summer residents of the motivation to grow the plant on their plots.
The problem is that the culture grows, taking over new territory. Getting rid of the mighty horseradish rootstock is tantamount to uprooting a small tree.
Even a small root that is not removed from the ground can become the basis for a new plant.
Experienced gardeners know one trick that allows them to grow horseradish without fear for the future of their plot.
Summer cottage trick
Before planting horseradish, you need to find old buckets or barrels. The containers are filled with soil and the cuttings are planted in them at a distance of 15-20 cm from each other.
Thus, from the very beginning, summer residents deprive horseradish of the opportunity to realize its predatory ambitions, limiting it to the confines of a barrel or bucket.
Horseradish does not require special care in such conditions. The plant is watered, fed, and the soil is loosened as usual. After harvesting, the plantings can be easily disposed of without digging up half the plot.
