thank you. I stored some big beautiful gladiola corms last Fall but figured there was something I should have done to them.
np - I'm not sure about glads, I don't grow those. For my dahlias I mix the sulphur with peat in the shaking bag since I find that gives me a finer coating of sulphur than if you use it pure. I've never read about doing this anywhere but it works for me.
