Potassium nitrate

Hello, where can Potassium Nitrate be procured? I heard once that it's also called Salt Peter, what's that?

Thank you.

Where can you buy it? Is that what you are asking? You can buy it in gardening stores sold as stump remover. Im sure this has been covered elsewhere. Go to the Readily Available Chemicals thread.

Salt Peter = salt petre= salt of the stone=salt of earth ,IIRC. Since it is formed by decay and oxidation of nitrogen wastes in the soil.
