It has been discovered recently that a clump of horseradish at each end of the potato rows can improve the health and resistance to disease of the potato tubers. This is another old farmer’s tale that has been confirmed by controlled experiments in testing plots, both in Britain and the United States. Organic gardeners are ever seeking natural methods of improving crops and maintaining the fertility of the soil. It seems horseradish can give plants as well as humans the benefit of its natural antibiotic properties.
One word of warning: don’t plant horseradish among the flower beds or the herbaceous border. Each piece of root broken off when digging will start another plant, and you will find yourself eliminating horseradish unto the third and fourth generation. Give it a spot at the far end of the garden where it can grow and multiply freely.
