It's a bit of a myth that you just add diesel to Urea to make a bomb, the stuff needs to be converted to another compound first, using nitric acid I think. And when produced it needs a shock wave to detonate it.

In England I used to spread tonnes and tonnes of actual Ammonium Nitrate and they were pretty careful how they stored that stuff and it may have even been a controlled substance. All that needed was diesel and a blasting cap which would be pretty easy to make. But if you want to play with explosives I advise you join the Army or get tthe quals and go to the mines in Oz.
