Sick Wasabi

The hardest part of my project to explore ways of producing home-grown Wasabi has actually been getting hold of plants to grow. One supplier I found wanted $98/plant and another wanted me to sign a contract and set up a full-scale commercial production unit.


At last, I found a source of plants at a reasonable price ($8.80 AUD). The drawback is that I could only order one plant (apparently the last of their stock for the moment) and I made the mistake of doing this just before Christmas. The plant got caught up in the post and was in rather poor condition when it arrived.


The good news is that it appears to be making a slow recovery. However, I will be ordering another as soon as they have more in stock and hopefully this will arrive in better condition.


If you are looking for a good source of plants for a wide variety of herbs and food plants, here is a link to the site I found.
