Anyone know how to make nitrate salts? Or where to buy them?

Been looking all over the web for nitrate salts, but can't seem to find anything. Your help will be really appreciated! Please and thanks!

Ammonium nitrate is a rather common fertilizer. Most gardening shops will have some form of it.

Could you please clarify which salts, and for what purpose?

Ammonium nitrate is a nitrate salt though - (NH₄)(NO₃)

Actually, come to think of it, depending on your area of residence, buying it might require a license as it can be used to make explosives.

Do you realize that to make nitric acid from some nitrate salt, you would need sulfuric acid (or other stronger acid).. ?

Yes we know. Use nitric acid with some base, or metal oxide.
