Hmmm, wish i could get Bags of the stuff... went to some ag supplier near here... nothing. One of them had it in liquid form at 10% i think for around $30 p/ 10 gallon drum.

Let your fingers do the walking instead...

Try calling places in the Sydney area, and you're bound to find somewhere that'll ship it to you. A bit of looking should find it for under $1.40/kg in 25kg bags.

I managed to find a 25kg bag of KNO3 for $38 but still need to go and get it, I'm thinking it could be fairly impure, $38 for 25kg is very cheap. It says to use 1gram per litre of water.
I picked this up from a Nursery Supplies place.

[fishy1]

most fertilisers are impure, but they still make great BP.

[pkhow]

That is about the right price and it works fine. Its likley to be 13. 0. 38 as most of the Ag grade seems to be. I re-crystalise 2 or 3 times as can aford to loose 10~ 20 % at that price.

does anyone know where to get sulfur in melbourne?

[maximusg]

I get mine from "Thrifty Link" Hardware store. They have 2.5 kilo bags for $6.80. Im not sure if they stock it every store though. Before i looked there i got it at a nursery, 500g for $7.00.

I was going to recrystalise it about 5 times to get it very pure you don't have a solubility chart for KNO3 do you.

If you're only making BP You don't need to re-crystalise it, it will be fine.. makes great lift when corned/granulated with 10% dextrin..

Well it seems many people have trouble making reliable/good BP so I thought I should use the best ingredients I can make/get

To make reliable CONSISTANT BP you need good scales, and definatly a ball mill..
