Where in the hell did you get an idea like that? 24-4-4 means a total
of 32 lbs of fertilizer, no matter who bags it or what else it
contains. USDA requires standard labeling on all fertilizer.

To give the OP an honest answer, I'd say the texture of the fertilizer
would be the difference. Coarse fertilizer would cover half the area
that a finer fertilizer would cover.
