Re: Aquatic Plants Digest V3 #296



Hi Larry,

Potassium nitrate is also known as "saltpeter" and "niter". It was (is?)
used in making sour cucumbers. The principal use, however, is in
explosives & propellants and as fertilizer. It could be that people do
not know that the product they sell is actually KNO3!

Best,

George
