I also heard about dig a hole and put fertilizer around dynamite to augment the destructiveness, and that seems to be correct.

That's because nitrates are the main component in both fertilzer and explosives. We're so lucky plants convert the nitrates to non-explosive forms, otherwise cooking would be a high risk activity.
