If not, this is a fairly common fertilizer found in farm stores. And, geez, I complained about what I had to pay for it for my strawberries but the prices listed above are...::gulp::...much, much higher.

We'd buy it buy the 80lb. sack (or so) to fertilize the orchard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I actually use to buy Urea for custom blended permanent waves in the 80's! What a flashback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elitenaildesign Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I was just going to post asking about this stuff. I know there are a couple brands of pedicure products with different % of urea for diabetics, severely cracked heels, ect. The stuff is VERY expensive, so it would be nice to make a foot cream that has the same effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Is it really synthetic? I was under the impression it was tryly derived from Urine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieJeanette Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Is it really synthetic? I was under the impression it was tryly derived from Urine.According to this site, it can also be made without urine: http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=5905The site says that in 1828, a German chemist by the name of Friedrich Wöhler discovered how to make urea 'by accident' when he attempted to make ammonium cyanate from silver cyanide and ammonium chloride. Very interesting. Who knew?MarieJeanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
