X 3ft. area, around the plant, you ar only adding about ¼ oz. of extra filler per square foot.

My point exactly. Using 0-0-60 means you need to apply a smaller quantity of product...if you were to buy 0-0-6 and try and get the same result...you would need to apply much more. Therefore, I would recommend just purchasing the 0-0-60.
I employ a similar practice. I fertilize my mango and avocado trees with 8-3-9 and supplement with 0-0-50 during the summer months.
Off topic, Rainy season is here!!
No more $500 water bills!! (yes, it did somehow get that high during the dry season...almost jumped out of my socks!)
