Default Fence post- bitumen on lower end?

Hi all.

I get a bit obsessive in trying to make sure that the end results of my DIY jobs are long-lasting (where appropriate). On the matter of wooden fence posts, is it likely to increase the life of the below ground section if I cover that portion of the wood in bitumen? I imagine that preventing soaking from ground water should do some good.

Thanks.

Jim.
