Where does sulphur fit in? In AZ, it was a given that sulfur was neccessary for happy plants. Sulfur?
Sulfur and Sulfate Fertilizers - Do We Need Them?
Since the 1880's when gypsum was used we have had large increases in air pollution with sulfur dioxide and this apparently supplies sufficient sulfur for crop production in all of Ontario except the extreme northwest.
I guess it depends on how much sulfur is in the air where you live.

Funny you should mention sulphur. I have been adding a pinch or two of soil sulphur to the holes I spade out for my transplants. I read a few years ago that it was great for peppers and a couple of match heads placed in the hole would really do the peppers good!
When I say a pinch or two that is what I mean. The soil sulphur I have is flaked (not a powder) and is easy to use. The 4 lb. bag I have will last me the rest of my life and whom ever I leave it to for the rest of their lives! LOL
