Single shank Mesquite root plow

[Frank S]

Great build, still looks like lots of work to search and destroy. Does that single plow blade need much tractor horsepower to pull them out of the ground?
The good thing it makes great smoking wood. But what trouble having a patch of that must be.
When I bought my home in 1984, the previous owner put in a small shrub of some unknown to me plant. I let it grow, turns out it was some sort of Bamboo plant that sent runners everywhere. I couldn't find a weed killer. But I kept mowing it till it disappeared.
The other plant is Horseradish, I've heard horror stories of using a roto-tiller, which was the wrong way of removing it.

H have sandy soil so not much drawbar HP is required My Ford 2600 and Case 431 do just fine. If you have a tractor that can pull a 2 bottom 16inch moldboard turning plow in your soil then it will have enough umph to pull this.
A roto tiller on horseradish will create a carpet of the stuff, cut a 1-foot root into a dozen pieces but leave them in the ground and 2 dozen plants will crop up starting from both ends of the root,
It is a great herb once you learn to control its growth. Just dig it up save the largest roots scrub them clean then grate them let set a few minutes add some white vinegar a little pickling salt and pound a Vitamin C tablet into powder to make your own horseradish sauce. The longer you wait to add the vinegar and other... the hotter it will become but if you wait too long like about 6 to 10 minutes it will have a hot + bitter taste. I like to sparingly spread a little and squeeze the juice from a half a lemon on a schnitzel to add flavor.
Why pat $7.00 for a 2 oz jar when you can make a pint of the stuff from 3 cups of roots for free + the cost of a cup of vinegar, a little salt and a vitamin.
I just bought this last night
