[QUOTE="novatech, post: 422970, member: 5494"] I agree with you on this up to a point. The concrete will cause the post to rot faster as it forms a bucket around the post, and the open end of the will wick water up into the post so the tar would prevent this. Concrete adds balast to the post at the bottom and will usually help the post stay plumb longer. What I do is put gravel in the bottom of the hole and only fill around the sides of the post with concrete. That allows drainage out the bottom. I think I will start useing your tar idea on the bottom of the post. Putting a top cover on the post may help as well. [/QUOTE]
