Wood posts set in dirt or concrete just don't last, at least when they're common softwood or redwood. (I've read that things like Osage orange or honey locust do, but they just aren't available around here.) I have about 800 ft of fence installed by the previous owner that's on the verge of falling down (if it hasn't already) due to rotted posts set in concrete.
