going back 20 yrs I would spray under the electric fences with round up, then after a few years I noticed that I was getting huge amounts of thistles and burdock growing from the bare ground so I would spray with 24-d to try and allow the grass to grow but kill the thistles before they went to seed. I also spent numerous trips out with a weed eater to trim down the grass and at this point I would like to finish a hydraulic driven weed eater that will fasten to the loader and I can sit in the seat to trim along the fences. My point is spraying creates other problems that I found to be worse than having the grass there to compete and prevent the weeds from growing. Every situation is different so maybe you won't get the weeds growing.
