The lawn company told me it was fertilizer used on the golf courses. He said the type used on lawns is slow release nitrogen, and the stuff they use is a cheaper/coarser grade that releases nitrogen almost immediately, creating the odor. I didn't notice it until today, but the winds were up a bit and we smelled it over in Pinellas. Just repeating what "the man" told me.
