    The materials he used were all readily available.
    The white pellets were the hardest to get, and required that he made a purchase in Utah, using his grandfather's name for their farm in Southern Utah.

    The ammonium nitrate fertilizer was common enough, if you had a good reason to buy it.
    Of course his grandfather was too
    old to notice that it never made it onto the fields.......
