You can usually find sulfur in two ways at the garden centres. One is in the
fungicide area. The other for Ph adjustment. In both cases the price for a
small amount [say 500grams/1 pound] will be relatively high for the amount
you get. If you have the space getting a bag from the sort of places that
sell farm supplies will be cheaper. For rot I'd think you'd want the powered
stuff. My understanding is that sulfur also comes in pellet form for Ph
adjustment but I don't think that would work right for dusting things.
