We recently wrapped up a full renovation of the sign bed at Ag Spray Equipment here in Newton!
The old junipers had gotten overgrown and were swallowing the space, so we pulled them out completely. In their place we planted a mix of native and “tough-as-nails” plants built for Kansas weather. They handle the heat, the wind, the drought, and the cold snaps, and they'll only get better each season.
For structure and movement, we added Panicum ornamental grasses, including 'Heavy Metal' switchgrass. For some color, we filled in with Echinacea coneflower, Russian sage, and yellow yarrow.
We also replaced all the old drip irrigation with new drip line, so every plant gets water right at the roots with less waste.
To finish it off, we took out the old rock bed around the mailbox and set two large boulders to anchor.
Thanks to Ag Spray Equipment for trusting us with this project! 🙌
