Ammonium nitrate
My neighbor told me that he uses Ammonium nitrate to green up his lawn. He
said he uses 34-0-0. I cannot find this anywhere. I also read on the internet that pure Ammonium nitrate is 40-0-0. I also can't find that either. Can anyone tell me where to find this? I'm willing to buy it online if I have too. I remember my father using it on our lawn when I was growing up. |

It's often sold as ice melt. (42-0-0 urea) Be very careful with this stuff, it will fry your lawn if used incorrectly. -- GO# 40 ------------------------------------------------------------- http://NewsReader.Com/ 50 GB/Month |

It took me quite a few seasons to get him his lawn back. Peter H |

I remember my father using it on our lawn when I was growing up. Ammonium Nitrate should never be used on a lawn. It's too strong and will burn at lease and kill at worst. It's normally used as a side dressing for row crops or as an ingredient in bombs. You want your lawn to green up fast, get slow release 24 -3-3 or similar lawn fertilizer. Tom J |

I'll be hard pressed to find ice melt in the deep south.

Ammonium nitrate
If you really want it, go to a store that sells to farmers. Why not
just use a good fertilizer and water it in. Where I'm at we use 16-4-8 or 27-5-11 or similar ratios. We apply at one pound of nitrogen per thousand square feet. Thus a 50# bag of 16-4-8 covers 8 thousand square feet. And so on. On Mon, 30 Jun 2003 13:49:21 -0500, "Curtis Frazier" wrote: My neighbor told me that he uses Ammonium nitrate to green up his lawn.
