    Greetings All,
    No need to burn it. Rifle powder is high in nitrogen so it is excellent fertilizer. Just spread it thin and water it in. I believe that the Aussie powder is made out of gum trees so spread it under some of them and close the loop. Grew some rifle powder assisted broccoli at one time.

    I'd gathered that. Not actually required though.
