I use sulpher powder as indicated on my plants. Problem is that stuff permeates anything I'm wearing and then stinks up the load of laundry. Has anybody experienced this? Any magical solutions you can suggest that will help me be able to continue to use this without having my wife get pissed about sulpher smelling laundry?

Is there a laundromat near the House ?? I've always figured that was what those things were designed for (the stuff you don't want to do in your own machine ) LOL ! Just bag the clothes up and take em to the laundromat when you get a chance

Yes...

I have lots of "garden clothes", and if I plan on using sulfur I wear something that simply won't come in the house again. Totally "end of the road" clothes... which I might wear several times but they don't get washed again and don't even come in the house. Then they're thrown out.

Beware, if using sulfur, wear breathing mask and don't let that dust stick to the sweat on your forehead, where it will eventually run down into your eyes! That's about the time you start running for the shower!

Thanks for your replies! I have plenty of "end of the road" cloths I can dedicate for garden only use. That'll keep me out of the dog house :-)
