Weeds/Grass woven into Chain Link Fence

| Greetings All...
HELP!
Any suggestions as to what to do about grass and weeds that manage to 'weave' themselves into the chain link fence so that a weed-whipper doesn't work? Will repeated sprayings of round-up or something like that get rid of this? I don't want to hurt the plants near the fence, I just end up with this 'mat' of grass and weeds that grow up and directly under the fence and get protection (from the weed-whacker) by growing within the links.
It's really messy/sloppy looking and I am sick of hand weeding these!
HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP !! |

| Grab the Roundup and let them have it! If still alive after 2 weeks, spray them again, perhaps using a double-strength dose. After death, they the plant material will dry up and you should be able to pull it off. |

| I've started using one of the formulations with diaquat in it which works faster. You can tell in 1 day whether respray is needed in most cases. George |

| THANKS! I'm going to try spraying just to get rid of the grass/weeds, and then after I remove the (hopefully) dead weeds, I'm going to somehow get a triple layer of weed fabric (I'm not normally a fan of weed fabric-hoping this works) under the fence itself and use landscape timbers (and fabic 'pins') to hold it down on both sides of the fence. |

| I gave up and planted Liriope along the fenceline, so far it has choked everything else out. |
