Thinking towards next spring here. Has anyone tried getting something growing under their electric fence instead of regular spraying/killing everything? I probably sprayed under my fence 4 or 5 times last year with a hand sprayer and 24d/roundup before finally seeding it to brassicas around the 1st of August. My main enemies were foxtail and button weeds. I'd rather not put that much chemical on if I can avoid it. I'm wondering about planting something that will remain short enough to not short out the fence but will hold back the competition. Maybe a lawn type grass? I'd also considered a strip of white clover and maybe mow under the fence with a weed wacker one time during the summer? Any other ideas or experiences?
