I just hired a contractor to drill fence post holes and intstall fence
posts.He used a product called Sakrete to cement the poles in. He just
poured the dry mix into the hole and sprayed water with the garden
hose.He did this yesterday and today--a little less than 24 hours later
not all of the posts are solid.I read the instructions on one of the
bags and it says to premix the mixture first and then pour the wet
concrete into the hole.Now I have seen on television that there is a
product that you can pour dry into the hole and add water--but I am
worried that this product is different. Should I be worried?

yea - its fine to do it that way for fence posts. Many actually prefer
NO concrete at all. The wobble may not have anything to do with the
concrete unless too much, or not enough, water was used. I used this
technique for a mailbox post w/o a problem. The concrete is set by now
regardless if its fast or slow setting type.
