I have been to a couple of feed and seed stores and it's darn near impossible to get the ammonium nitrate. And please do not even say "blood meal" because that dog is not going to hunt either. The feed and seed guy said... "well just use Rid-X"... I know I've misspelled that. That's the stuff you put in septic tanks to get them bubbling again. Help me out here and tell me if an alternative can work. My bales are fescue hay and nice and firm. But they will have to break down. Also, seeds. I'm hoping to use seeds instead of plants... Thanks everyone... Lynn Cooper, Waxhaw, NC
