Pea gravel will not set & grip the post very well. So it's not the best - mixed gravel or just the dirt would 'set' the post a lot better. As for rotting, keeping the post dry will help. _IF_ you can get the water to drain _away_ from the post, then gravel or such will help it dry out & last a bit longer. If you have the typical heavy clay soil with lots of rain we have around here, the gravel will only be a place for the water to drain _to_ and sit & puddle, and will not make any difference at all from dirt to gravel to pea gravel. So, you likely will get different answers to this question depending on the local soil types. For me with my soil/ climate, it does not make a witt of difference, just a waste of money for the gravel. --->Paul
