To those of you looking for Salt Petre for KNO3

Thought you might find this interesting.

I couldn't find the stuff at Walgreens, (of course if they had it they wouldnt even know it.) But I did find out it's used in Wicca magic of all things.

And also in Amish cooking. LOL :)

On a funny related note I did buy the Fleet Enema solution today... from a store I don't intend on returning to anytime soon ;)

I got mine at a local feed store for 50 cents a pound, but they raised it to $1 a pound for small lots now.

They also sell it in 50 lb barrels.

Ahh, induced impotence! Gotta love the Amish and Wicca

Induced impotence???? Yeah the thought went through my mind also, just for the record saltptre is used for curing hams and bacon as well as some other more volatile uses I won't go into detail about.

Getting off topic, but farmers also use it to keep their bulls "under control".
