No no no no. Dynamite is not environmentally friendly.

Use an ammonium nitrate based explosive because ammonium nitrate is a good fertiliser.

Now why didn't I think of that? BRILLIANT! Simply BRILLIANT!

When I was a driller's helper in the first logging camp I worked in we would fill 3' tubes with AMEX, three to a hole with half a stick of dynamite....ka-freakin-boom. I also learned the hard way what a nitroglycerine headache felt like

We normally used AN and diesel and a half stick. Usually took out any stumps etc. With one our Irish powder monkey tried that twice without luck so stuck in three bags and a full stick. The stump came out but dad had to pay for some new windows on a few houses including ours. Overall everyone was happy though as we were excavating for the new community swimming pool on land next to our house and the whole clearing and excavation job was done as a freebee.

Today of course that would result in at least a dozen lawsuits.
