Even MiracleGro uses 7.6% Urea, at least I'd know where mine's been.
Sheesh, some folks are acting urea-ed off.

Urea is a small organic molecule composed of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and 
hydrogen. Urea is a common constituent of blood and other body fluids. Urea 
is formed from ammonia in the kidney and liver. Ammonia is produced by the 
breakdown of protein during tissue metabolism. Ammonia is very toxic. "Urea 
is very non-toxic" and can be at very high levels without causing any 
problems. If urea was not produced from ammonia we would very quickly become 
ill every time we ate a meal containing protein. The conversion of ammonia to 
urea, primarily in the liver, prevents ammonia toxicity. Urea is then 
excreted from the body in urine.
