Dianne:

We grow horseradish for one of our mustards, so I can tell ya all about
it!

Best to dig the roots in the fall (though spring works, too!).  Take
just what you need, replant the rest to form new plants.

Cut the parts you're replanting into 1" pieces and lay them on their
side, 1" below the soil.  Each piece will create a new plant.  Plant
them 2 feet apart.

The young leaves can be used in salad; the old leaves are too tough for
anything but the compost (sort of like me!).

When processing horseradish, I wear a two-compartment paint respirator
and swim goggles.  Makes a funny picture...Otherwise, I'm gasping for
air and my eyes tear so much I can't see the food processor.  Whoa.

Good luck.  Fresh horseradish is wonderful -
