Simple question really...

Why use a dry concrete mix around fence posts and then water in
rather than a normal (sloppy?) concrete mix that can be poked around
the hardcore supporting the (concrete) posts?

Does it actually matter? I've got a fence to put up this Easter and
Cut
The idea of using dry mix concrete for fence posts is that it can be
consolidated to support the post with out any other mean of support. If
sloppy mix is used the post will fall or lean over and will need ridged
additional support. You can actually fix the panels to the post when using
dry mix. Dry mix is actually not 100% dry but on the damp side.
