I'm going to set 6 1/2' cedar hand split fence posts 2' into the ground. Just wondering what the general concensus is - repack the holes with dirt (clay) around the posts or pack the posts in concrete? The two trains of thought are that the posts set in dirt will eventually loosen, but the posts set in concrete will eventually rot because the concrete creates a water pocket that the post rots away in.
So what can I expect to happen sooner - loose posts (the ones set in dirt) or posts breaking due to rot (the ones set in concrete)?
