Hi, Bob! Where do you live? If you are in the Northeast, home of acid rain, you are already getting plenty of sulfur on your plants.
As David Stern of the Garlic Seed Foundation says " Acid rain is what gives New York garlic that 'special' kick!" Here in PA, I don't recommend adding sulfur to the soil, either. However, some garlic growers do it in the western plains because they don't have the "natural" sulfur. If you live near a coal-fired power plant, you don't need to add sulfur. Also, think about how your onions and garlic taste - if they have plenty of kick, no need to add sulfur.

But I am mystified. Did I miss something? Why particularly in August?
