it is not the part that is in the ground that rots it is the part just above ground level that rots          as it is exposed to dampnes and drying out
just the same as all the old trees that are buried in peat bogs for hundreds of years with no treatment :farmer:

i put them in last week, I used this treatment for life stuff, i put some pea shingle in the hole in between layers of soil, they feel pretty solid.  I have a few that were pressure treated and creosoted, so it will be interesting to see which ones last the longest.
