Default Concrete vs. Postcrete

Hi all,

If I want to set a new wooden post into the ground, what's the difference
(FFS)?


Don't use either. Use the metal "hammer in" spikes, your posts will last
much longer.
Quicker too.




Often the trick is to take the concrete 25mm above soil level and slope
it to let water run away from the post. The post will usually start
rotting where the soil touches it in the soil/air boundary.
