Elemental Sulpher (Sulfur ?), is just what it says it is. It is toxic (
in concentrate forms ) to most living things. King Tut's gardeners
probably never heard of " Ferti-lome " ( probably couldn't pronounce/spell
it either). Some plants do not tolerate it well, test it first. Otherwise
use it like rose dust ( shouldn't be toxic, only cause leave burn on tender
plants ). For those of you that are dyed in the wool Organo-gardeners,
Sulpher (?) is inorganic.
once a week is about right, avoid hot weather and stressed plants.
