What is best for killing all grass/weeds along fence line?

[Stringer]

Starting to put alot of fencing up. Wondering how I am going to keep it neat looking without weedeating with a trimmer as a full time job. What are my options? Thanks.

One option would be one of the many brands of soil sterilizer for a more semi-permanent solution. Other options might be a propane weed burner or a few applications of glyphosate applied a few times per season.

Is seems no matter what we do mother nature seems persistent in reverting us back to her ways.

How about just plain old roundup, or one of the glyphosate copies?

I keep about 1500 feet of fence line clean. I have been using Roundup applying it about every 6 weeks with a sprayer that I have mounted on my four wheeler. There is a product call Hyvar which is a soil sterilizer. Do not spray this around trees, it will kill them, trust me. If you do not have trees along this fence line. It will keep it dead for long time. I will be using this product next year.

Spray or pour, an old time method used by my grandma. Any would work, get the cheap stuff! I have some fence lines I am going to use it on and will experiment as to how much dilution renders it ineffective. Don't know yet.
