Also some people say that re-crystallizing is an inferior way of making rocket candy, or that fertilizer is substandard to other forms of KNO3.

Thanks. As a stump remover, potassium nitrate will accelerate the rotting of stumps. Simply drill holes into the stump, add some water and potassium nitrate, and the stump will rot more rapidly over time without affecting living vegetation around the stump.

So your better off getting regular fertilizers with KNO3 instead of the stump removal because it reacts with certain fungi which accelerates treedelimbing.barted Reading Time: 6 mins.

This method is especially effective for potassium nitrate (KNO3) since its solubility in g of water is g at degrees C, and only g at 0 degrees C.
