Now that I am more or less in my new place I have an issue I never thought much about, grass and weed control around the trailers as I had been parking on a large gravel area for years and now I will be parking on grass untill I get gravel or concert put down. Weed eating around the trailer takes up time, fuel, and string.
Anyone have a good (cheap and easy) way of dealing with this? Or just suck it up buttercup.

Accidentally spill gasoline around the edge?
I'd weed-wack it then use weed killer spray to keep it down.
Landscape fabric and stone dust on top works well too.
Get a gravel delivery, Offer free beer and pizza to anybody who can show up with a shovel to help spread it out. Total spend: $250 maybe?
In reply to Donebrokeit:
Salt/saltwater will apparently kill it, based on another thread here.
I paid $200 for a 2-ton delivery of gravel (look on CL, a lot of companies do this) and put it down under the trailer (with a weed-block fabric underneath). 3 years later I still have virtually no grass under the trailer at all...
You could spray Pramitol on the ground before you put down the gravel.
Around here an 8-yard truck of gravel is $100 dumped wherever I need it. I've had about 20 truck loads delivered in the last two years...
Gravel was in the works, just looking for an alternative. Still might give the salt water thing a throw.
Thanks, Paul
A salt and vinegar spray works well, but does require more than one application. Doesn't take long though, and it's not toxic like weed killers.
Roundup or the Co-Op equivalent. If it's a solid deck trailer, the grass under it will naturally go away.
