Fungucide / Weed and Feed

Last spring i got brown patch (immediatedly after application of Weed and feed) in a few areas. I was able to get rid of the brown patch but then dollar spot fungus started to appear. Despite several applications of the Scotts Fungucide the dollar spot still remained into the summer. Even now (Feb) I can see some blades with the dollar spot. My question is: The application of the Weed and Feed seemed to be the cause of the beginning of my fungus problem last yr. Should I apply a fungucide first (if so what kind) and then apply the weed and feed or vice vers or does it the order in which these are applied not matter? Thanks.

You probably going to have to change the products your using! Disease’s will become immune if you use the same fungicide over&over! Also try using a fertilizer higher in potassium, and also use an organic fertilizer once a year. If want to continue using a weed&feed product, select another brand from what you been using. Soil microbes don’t like to be drenched with the same chemicals over& over!
