If it were me chances are I'd just go out and buy fertilizer. BUT on the 
other hand if I were to attempt to make a nitrate fertilizer I would 
consider sending some of the output from a sucker gap set up on your coil 
thru a bubbler with some hydrogen peroxide in a distilled water mix.Altho 
not a chemist I believe the result will be a weak nitric acic,ideal for a 
nitrate fertilizer. I believe you could kill 2 birds with one stone.Have fun 
running your coil and get a usable byproduct too boot. Just something I 
always thought  about doing one day.
 IF you are trying to construct some kind of I.E.D. Chances are you will 
blow yourself up or be dismembered.A college education in chemistry and 
special equipment is required to handle nitric acid and it's related 
compounds safely with the exception of very low concentrations used in 
fertilizers
