200,000 tonnes of fertiliser to North Korea
2003-04-15
South Korea is ready to donate 200,000 tonnes of fertiliser to famine-hit North Korea this year, as Seoul seeks to entice Pyongyang into peace talks. South Korea has provided hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fertiliser in every year since 1999 at North Korea's request.
So that's where it comes from!

#13  I was in S.Korea in 1974,used to watch Papa-son laddle fertilizer on crops from a bucket(honey-bucket).Where did he get the fertilizer?
He simply went to the nearest outhouse and scooped it out.

#12  Totally OT, we had a local engineer who bonded copper to steel for weld technology purposes. He would bury copper and steel sheets and ammonium nitrate in a local sand pit and detonate the stuff. I think the local cops got tired of the neighbors calling and shut him down. Hell of a process though.

The NKors can always try burning it.

#4  Ususally, it's 'lil Kim that's spewing the fertilizer (B.S.) in the South's direction. Proximity to this madman is a dangerous thing, but I wish that once, just once, S. Korea would show some stones.

#2  So what kind of fertilizer is being sent north? SK is just making appeasment motions all the time. But I can somewhat understand the reason being that Seoul is so close to the border of nut-land. Sometime, though, they will have to take a stand.

#1  Hmm. Either it's being used for tired land to produce crops, or they're making the biggest series of home-made pipe bombs of which I have ever heard!
