Since Horseradish is a rather large root, if I only want a little at
a time, can I just take a cutting of some amount and then re-bury the
main root back into the damp sand and it will still keep that way?

Thanks for the great info.. I'd love to try growing this at some point,
but need to find a source for one to get going on it.. I love horseradish
and of course Wasabi
