You can use it on your veg bed if you’re growing cabbages, sprouts and other brassicas, I just use a sprinkle of lime on my very acid soil, but only every few years.
The only thing I use yellow sulphur for is when I’ve cut begonia corms in half to seal the cut sides. You can sprinkle it on dahlia tubers if you want to before wrapping in newspaper and storing for the winter.
Personally, I would prefer to grow plants that suit my soil rather than change it, it doesn’t really work.

Hi. I use this on my table grape vines in April when the l leaves start to develop and tiny flowers start. I "dust" the vine leaves against odium, to which the vine is susceptible. My father-in-law who has vineyards supplies it to me with strict instructions to "dust" early morning - no wind - no dew. I also "dust" the rose bushes. Yes, it is anti fungal.
It is also useful for open cuts and wounds as it dries out the wound and the scab is quicker to develop It is also an antiseptic.
I don't think I would sprinkle it on the soil.
I have used it on brassicas to keep white butterfly away. I'm not sure if it worked but give anything a go against those ravagers!!
Thanks for the link @Lyn. I’m going to use it in rose planter which has some black spot as well as by the pear rust. I might also use it by the azalea that struggles with gall because if that doesn’t improve it’s coming out so nothing to lose really.
I wouldn’t use on the azaleas, it’s used for turning acid soil to alkaline and the azaleas need slightly acid soil. I had gall on one some time ago, just pick off all the galls, it bounced back.

It certainly isn't suitable for azaleas, or any of the rhododendron family. If you don't have a suitable use for it, then chuck it out ,or give it to someone who could use it.
I don't see the point of hanging on to something that's not useful for any purpose you have. Put it down to experience
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

it was an impulse bargain buy as I thought it was plant food.
pretty sure I’ve got some lime too left over from the previous owner.
