This would mean that 1 quart of 16-16-8 and ironite added to 1 quart of sulfur would equal the 2 quarts. Now, while this mixture has been working well for me for the last few years in Utah, I am willing to concede that I heard him wrong on this. Since sulfur is not soluble, I do not believe that it would harm the plants by applying twice the amount, therefore, if it works for you better, than that might be the thing to do.

According to his book he recommends 2 quart per 180 square feet- Why have you reduce the amount of sulfur? Your sulfur recommendation differs from Dr. Wells by less than half.

We are fairly new to UT and did not know many of these principles last year. My garden was not very productive as I did not fertilize or water it properly. THANK YOU!!
