Tumbleweed,
The round bales would be a bit too tall I think.

Rupert thanks for the advice. I probably wouldn't have thought of that.
It does say to keep it VERY well watered and maybe you would have a
less explosive alternate to use??? Anything would have to be a
commercial preparation as I have no time yet to grow anything for make
yer own. I plan to do comfrey somewhere it wouldn't be a disaster if
it spread.

Cheers and Keep up with the ideas.
Thanks

I am doubtful that you will be able to get your hands on Ammonium nitrate in
a pure form in the quantities you may need
Perhaps it is available with a fire suppressant. I assume that it is used
for a plentiful supply of nitrogen so any other nitrogenous fertiliser
should do but you would need to adjust the amount used.
This link gives various things with the relevant nitrogen content:-

There are other more "organic" materials which should do the same job.
