I'm told fertilizer is a hazardous material. After hours on Google, the
only thing I find is if the fertilizer contains ammonium nitrate, then it
is
considered an oxidizer which is considered hazardous. Anyone have any
thoughts on storing about 1200 lbs. of lawn fertilizer which doesn't
contain
ammonium nitrate? What chemicals should be kept away from it if any?
Thanks.


I may be wrong but I think ammonium nitrate constitutes the nitrogen (the
first # in the XX-XX-XX content label) in all commercial fertilizers.

In this day and age I am not willing to state in a newsgroup that can be
read by anyone what may make it go boom. I will say you should be safe if
it is stored in garden shed or barn away from heat sources or combustible
materials.

I will add that any fertilizer that gets wet with water has the potential to
destroy concrete, at least the top layer. It can also corrode metal to the
point of ruin.
