It's absurdly easy to grow in Illinois.
I'm told that if you don't contain the roots for 18-24" down, it'll try to take over. A couple buckets with the bottoms cut off will do the trick.
We grew some harvested it and then failed to divide/process it and get it back in the ground. It came up the next year anyway because there was apparently some roots that we didn't get when harvesting.
I think we just bought some organic horseradish at the grocery store and stuck it in the ground to get started. Hopefully we'll be able to get a harvest this year and actually process it into some food.
