Remember the maximum about 'going to the butcher for meat, the baker for
bread'? Ammonium nitrate can be used as a fertiliser &/or an explosive
depending on the application. Fertilisers are used to adjust a perceived
imbalance in available nutrient levels of the growing media. To discover
any imbalance a full soil test should be made. This should be coupled
with an assessment of drainage and soil texture for that specific site.
Levels of nutrients are adjusted to meet the requirements for that
specific crop. We have the science available, it is cheap, there is no
reason to not use it.
