Postcrete - whether to mix in agrigate or not?

Hi all,
I use postcrete for setting in posts etc. My own feeling is that
it would be stronger if I mixed in some gravel (ballast). I've
tried it and it works fine - goes off almost as quickly, but I
don't know if this is strengthening it or not. Anybody know if
this is worth doing or not.
Many thanks,
Neil
The postfix stuff I have used in the past has already had gravel in
it.
No not this stuff

I have seen other makes with gravel in them but have been told that
they are
not so good as Postcrete. In fact one make (don't recall the name) I
was told by the supplier that it was rubbish in comparison. It's
difficult to be sure of all this as I haven't tried other brands
myself.
It just seems to me that proper concrete has gravel in, so why
doesn't this stuff need it as well.
Ah, only used the postfix stuff from B&Q. Put two separate fences up
using it and have never had any problems.
Ditto!
