    What spray would you recommend for spraying along electric fences?
    Having problems with briars, nettles, thistles, whins, whitethorn twigs etc. shorting off the fence

    Makes no sense to me to mix expensive selective herbicide with cheap kill everything I can (including grass).

    Grazon would be my choice for killing briars. Does a good job on goarse too.

    For killing nettles, docks, thistles I'd go for dock star

    Very light run of Roundup - you don't need to burn absolutely everything only a small track where the wire is and a bit above and below it.

    grazon is good, within half an hour nettles will be dead, it will be 2 weeks before you see the briars wilt, in my case anyway
