Hello - Someone suggested a type of fertilizer for my lawn. I can pronounce it but cant spell it. It sounds like urea, your-ree-ah. How is it spelled and what is it?
Thanks!

If you dont have a fungus in your lawn do NOT apply this. Sounds to me like someone learned something and took it out of context. Apply this late, and i mean late, in the season as a winterizer and thats it. If you want a good fertilizer for your lawn tell us what your needs are, I'm sure we can help you out.

So, if he has fungus, it's ok to apply pure nitrogen? High nitrogen promotes fungus and whether he has it or not, it's a good way to start a fungus problem or make a small one worse. And the conventional advice is a winterizer is a balanced product, with less nitrogen than normal, not pure nitrogen. You could certainly use urea if you happen to have it as a source of nitrogen, applied carefully, but for most home applications, there are much better choices.
