    Last year we spread urea on our lawn and 2 weeks later we spread some nitro on and it worked well. So this year we planned to do the same. 2 weeks I ago I spread the Urea, these brown patches appeared and after some googling it seems to be fertiliser burn :-( Will I go ahead and spread the nitro anyway or what do ye suggest?
