What about laying the radials on the ground – and then covering with ~ 1 1/2”
of top soil? The New England weeds will quickly grow on top and then you can
mow right over them. In a few months you won’t even know that they were there.

Would love to rent one of those, but no known options for that here in rural
west-central NH.

I have not used an edger, but I think it will be slow going especially if you
try to go deep. The manual says:
“NOTE: There are 5 cutting depth settings from approximately ground level to
2.5” (63 mm) deep. Do not overload the edger capacity by attempting to edge too
deep at too fast a rate. To edge at deeper settings, make multiple passes,
first cutting at shallow depths.”
This would be a good way, but expensive to buy. I think renting one might
work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/142313439152?lpid=82
