Recently was synthesizing my own gunpowder using common household chemicals, and was somewhat disappointed when I couldn't find any plant fertilizer with a high enough saltpeter content. Ended up having to make my own with instant cold packs, and potassium based lite-salt. Still super fun and educational though, and the final product worked too! I didn't even burn off my eyebrows!
