I don't know why something so basic would be proprietary....

Anyhow, Ivo Busko recommended a product to me called
Stump Remover. Manufacturer is Dragon. I checked their
website, and they very clearly named the chemical:
Potassium Nitrate. If you can get the Dragon product, it's safe
to use.

Oh dear ... I hope someone doesn't tip off the FBI about
this list.  Oh the other hand, it could be fun if they launched
a full-scale investigation only to find out that a bunch of
harmless aquatic gardeners were using these chemicals for,
guess what? Fertilizer.  :-)
