To ensure the posts are dry before treating I'd look up the time
needed to air dry them according to their size and the outdoor
temperature.

When treating them I'd wrap the ends of the posts in thick polythene
eg DPC sheet. I'd then soak them until at least the recommended amount
of preserver has been taken up, preferably a lot more.

By measuring the amount of preserver used and then left over it's easy
to work out how much has gone into the wood.
