can anyone say if post mix/crete is any good the posts for a 5ft feather edge fence?????
also is it as easy to use as it looks on youtube just pour water in the hole then the post mix no stirring just leave???

Thats exactly how you use it - but it can't be readily tamped down though and it sets at the speed of light.
Only personally speaking it does have its uses, no doubt about that, but I prefer the traditional sand/cement/gravel mix which you can readily work into the hole and tamp down.
Either way, get some substantial stone into the bottom of the hole to support the post.

Postcrete is good and time efficient for setting small posts, but personally i don't trust it for any exposed high fences gate posts etc as there is almost no stone in it and therefore not as strong as proper concrete.
