How do I eradicate horseradish?

Am I going to have to glyphosate it? How many times will I have to dig it out and pick out all the roots otherwise before I'm shot of it?
Jonnyboy

I'll have some, it doesn't really grow wild over here.

First batch has all been snapped up ... Next batch I dig out, I'll put you some aside.

There's a girl on the seed swap on RC looking for some too.

You could make a fortune!
Jonnyboy

Many thanks.

Probably next weekend (not the coming one, the one after).

I've seen soil sterilised by riddling it through a gas burner.

Probably complicated and expensive but you have the incentive that you've built a huge device that emits flame.

I can just see Cab advertising his thongs on the RC. Shocked
Gai

Please, please Cab can I have some too? I've been searching for it when out walking but there doesn't seem to be any around here. I'll cover postage.
cab

Gai, if there's any left after the first three, you're number four.

Blimey, I ought to consider ebaying this stuff!
Gai

Thanks loads Cab. PM me later if you have any and I'll send you my contact details.

Well, at least you don't need to eradicate, cultivate it!

I've just dug up some real gold soverigns that I dont really want, any idea how I can get rid of them?
mochyn

Me too Cab: I have none, and I love the stuff. I will, however, be planting it in a sunken bucket with no bottom. The bucket, not me... So if there's any left, could I please cadge some? What can I send you in return? I'm going to be knitting a jersey for Blacksmith in return for brackets, but it strikes me that a jersey would represent a huge quantity of Horseradish!

You're on the list. Whether I get that far down the list I don't know!

As for what I'll ask for in return for horseradish, I haven't thought that far ahead.
mochyn

I've just checked: there's no horseradish on ebay at the moment...
cab

Fingers crossed there'll be enough to go around... Looks like we can get away with rather small bits:

from the look of that you can get rid of it using mint if you didn't have enough if that already

I noticed that too Smile

There are probably a whole load of other invasive plants that might 'help' here.
