You live in farm country, dont you? Go to the local coop, and tell them that you want a water soluable CaNO3. That is how I found some.

My local Agway doesn't stock it, however they will order it for me in the spring, so if you have a local Agway try there.

It also holds up better if packaged in a plastic,not paper sack.

I've tried my coop and other fertilizer dealers here and they give me a stupid look and say "what's that".

Tom, that's the first thing I did was to check with my local CO-OP. They couldn't even find it in their book. I did find some Green-house grade that is a high quality soulable for $13-15 /50lb. Here is the link that may help others. http://cropking.com/cgi-bin/cropking/start/apps/store/start.html
I see they also have a product ZEROTOL. Is this Zero-Tolerance? If so the price is great for 2.5 gal. I've e-mailed them for details.

Stewee,

Save your money on that Zero-Tolerance. Clorox disinfects just as well, and is a lot cheaper. You will want to rinse your utensils well, and coat with a little oil, because it can cause corrosion of metal. I just picked up 100# of Cal. nitrate for $22.
