If you find some, there may be a helpful person that may suggest a sulphate, I would recommend you stick to the sulfur. But keep in mind, if your soil is anything like mine you will also need compost.I learned that putting just sulfur in your soil is like adding gravel, all it does is SIT THERE. The symbiotics are manifold and extensive, but organic matter and living soil is required for the sulfur to work. That and moisture.

I had hastily put in sulfur into my beds ( I have 12 with 4 more planned ) but I don't have near enough bio matter for all of them, so there are still a couple beds that are native clay soil with yellow and white freckles -I also added a bunch of perlite- and have been that way for two seasons now.
