Hi Dave and All:
I second and third the sulphur! During the season it also keeps those nasty
rhizome borers at bay and if you have to store your plants over winter (all
other precautions having been taken), sulphur reduces the incidence of mold.
I use wettable shuphur dust (99%) which can be sprayed or used straight
from the container. It also lowers the soil Ph.
