What is recommended depth for footings of corner posts?

If it is just a deck not attached to the house with a roof over the deck
I dont think you need to worry about depth you need only to support the
weight and keep the deck from sinking. I used flat 2" concrete block,
the deck has been fine since 72

It's attached. Soil is sandy loam..
