It all has to do with land use. It changes over time, but it's the local governments who change and enforce what it can be used for. Surely while the sheriffs are doing their rounds, they can notice a factory going up where a bean field once was? We had a royal fight here in SLO to allow Target to build on what once was zoned for nothing but agriculture. Surely, you don't believe Target could have just built there with no one noticing?

But actually in the long run fertilizers made with niter should be banned altogether because they eventually pollute the ground water. We throw away so much garden waste, food waste and animal waste that could be converted into organic compost. Our local agri college does do just that and I buy all that smelly compost for my garden.

Please no more factories making product that can also be used to make fire crackers and dynamite out of.
