I find weedkiller is the only way to keep grass down below an electric fence that is in the same place for any length of time.

That's the conclusion I came to but as we are maybe going orgasmic, that's not going to be an option.

I wouldnt want roundup near my hens nor ruined burnt grass and damaged soil either.

for most people wouldnt a quicker to strim around with a brushcutter so a better and quicker job.  If you move the fence on a regular basis the grass wont grow fast enough to short.
