Hi,
i've tried to make some kno3 at home with a method which uses soil and wood ashes, but it only gave me a little crystals.
Do You know some best way to make it at home?
Thanks

You could extract it from the dried manure of farm animals, but it's still a lengthy process with little return for the effort . . .
Buying it is waaay easier!

Which chemicals do you have which are containing nitrate ? May be then we can help you there are lots of videos on youtube which shows the synthesis
of potassium nitrate

This has been covered many times on this forum and on other sites and on YouTube as Vikascoder said. Please search around a little before posting.

Mix potassium hydroxide with nitric acid
Or, transplant nitrifying bacteria to a jug of oxygenated ammonia solution and neutralise the solution periodically with potassium carbonate.
Evaporate to dryness.
Making such a rudimentary substance is just not worth it, buy it at your local hardware store.

These are the first impure crystals of KNO3 that i have collected today, synthetized by the way i described on this topic.
