Akins specializes in custom blended bulk fertilizers and spreading. We
have professional consultants who can help you with the best and
most economical methods of fertilizing to obtain the most out of your
pastures, fields, lawns and gardens.
Akins also carries premium bag homogeneous fertilizers by Tri-State
that are a step above most competitors. Homogeneous means that
each pellet contains a chemical combination of nitrogen, phosphorus,
and potash, plus secondary and trace elements. With homogeneous
pellets, there is no chance of separation. Each pellet contains all plant
foods. This is important in order to have even distribution, a balanced
diet, growth, maturity and top yeilds. It means that a plant root needs
only come in contact with one pellet to receive a balanced diet.

Fertilizer Analysis Facts
How much N, P and K are in your bag of fertilizer? The analysis found on
each bag or bulk shipment of fertilizer tells the farmer or consumer the
amount of nutrients being supplied. States have a system of laws and
regulations that ensure the fertilizer is properly labeled and delivers the
amount of nutrients stated to the farmer or consumer.
The three numbers on your bag of fertilizer are referred to as the
"analysis." It is the percentage of nitrogen, phosphate and potash that is
available to plants from that bag of fertilizer. In this diagram, this product
contains 5 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphate and 5 percent potash.
So what's the other 80 percent of what's in this bag? While brands vary,
typically the rest will contain some micronutrients and filler material, which
allows for even application of the nutrients across the fertilized area.
