Default Putting in a new wooden fence post, concrete it in place?

Yes, buy the cement and (fine) gravel separately. I've never used it for
posts, but it was on this group I first saw it mentioned. My guess would
be around 8 gravel: 1 cement by volume. A quick Google suggests just pea
gravel alone could work if rammed down sufficiently. Any farmers out there?


You'll want some sand too.

Something like a 1:3:6 of cement:sharp-sand:shingle
should do it - be fairly weak if it needs to be broken out in future...

That's a C7.5 mix ^
