Scotts Edgeguard Setting for 21-0-0

Can anyone answer this? I bought a bag of 21-0-0 and want to apply 1 lb/1K sq ft of nitrogen using a Scotts edgeguard spreader. If I'm doing the math right, I believe I need 4.76 lbs of product to get 1 lb / 1 K (1 lb ÷ 0.21 = 4.76)

When using Milorganite, the bag says to put 8lbs/500 sq ft (so 16 lbs per 1K) and the setting on the edgeguard is 11.5.

So my question is, since the 21-0-0 is about the same granular size as milorganite, can I simply divide the setting by 1/3 (since I need approximately 1/3 of the nitrogen as compared to the milorganite). If I use round numbers (12 ÷ 3 = 4) that's the setting I come up with.

I guess I could weigh out 5 lbs of the nitrogen and measure out a 1K sq ft section of yard and mess with the settings that way, but I was hoping someone may have the answer already.

Or maybe I'm over thinking it and I should just set it on 4 and do a double pass and see how the grass responds. This is what I have already done this on the front lawn, but now I'm second guessing it.

I just put it on a low setting and do multiple passes, back and forth, zig zag around till it's gone.

New Braunfels is great, but too many people have found out about our hidden gem and are moving here in droves. It's growing fast, but still a great place to live.
Californians? Same folks who have now ruined Austin.

Yes! Lots of Californians. We even have a In-and-out burger here now. I'm sure they brought it with them...I refuse to go there! :D
