Scotts Lawn Fertilizer, 13.7 lb.

Homeowners who want to feed a lawn while addressing common fungal diseases may appreciate the combined approach here. Scotts Turf Builder Healthy Plus pairs grass fertilizer with a systemic fungicide, rather than asking you to buy and apply those as separate products.

It’s intended for new and established lawns in spring or summer, and the listed coverage is up to 4,000 sq. ft. per 13.7 lb. bag.

The key distinction is disease control alongside feeding. This isn’t described as a weed treatment, so it won’t replace a product chosen specifically for weeds.

Technical details

This lawn food combines fertilizer with a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide. The product information says it controls 27 types of lawn disease, including brown patch, leaf spot, powdery mildew, and red thread. It is labeled for all grass types and for use on new or established lawns.

One 13.7 lb. bag covers up to 4,000 sq. ft. That maximum is useful for planning, but the lawn’s actual area matters: measure before choosing a bag if you’re close to the coverage limit. The description doesn’t provide a per-area application rate, so follow the product label rather than estimating how much to use.

Everyday compatibility

The broad grass-type claim makes this a flexible fit if you don’t want to select a fertilizer around one specific grass variety. Its combined purpose may also simplify a seasonal lawn-care plan compared with buying fertilizer and a separate fungicide. That convenience is most relevant when disease prevention is part of the goal, not just greener grass.

For example, a homeowner preparing a lawn for a stressful summer period could use the product before visible disease symptoms appear, following label directions. The information also recommends preventative application during conditions that favor disease. It suits you if feeding and disease control are both priorities, You may want to skip it if you only need weed control or want a fertilizer with no fungicide component.

Usage tips

The stated approach is preventative: apply before symptoms show or during periods when conditions favor disease. Spring and summer are the listed seasons, but the product information doesn’t specify a precise schedule or application method. Use the label to determine how and when to apply it, and check that your lawn area falls within the bag’s coverage.

The disease list gives useful examples, but the claim covers 27 types rather than every possible lawn problem. If you’re dealing with a specific issue, identify it first and confirm that it’s covered by the label. On the spec sheet, the combination is designed to help grass withstand heat and drought stress when used as directed, it shouldn’t be read as a guarantee against stress or disease.

Before you decide

When should it be applied? The stated guidance is to apply preventatively, before symptoms appear or during conditions that favor disease, following label directions.

How much lawn does one bag cover? Up to 4,000 sq. ft. Coverage depends on staying within the product’s stated limit, the label provides application directions.

Which grass types can use it? The product is described as suitable for all grass types, including on new and established lawns.

Should you buy it?

This makes the most sense when you want one product for lawn feeding and prevention or control of the listed diseases, and its coverage suits your yard. If you’re buying only for routine feeding, or your main concern is weeds or an unlisted lawn problem, a more narrowly targeted product may be a better match. The 2-in-1 format is the deciding advantage, but only when both jobs matter to you.
