A friend told me about this stuff:

Will try it.


I am not sure how that will work out with the water in the hole. It
will just float on top where the concrete sinks and displaces the
water. It does look like an interesting idea in a dry hole tho. It
also gives you an idea of the required compressive strength necessary
to hold a pole,. If styrofoam will do it, I can't imagine any concrete
mix that wouldn't even if it started with the consistency of tomato
soup.
I am also not sure why a can of spray foam would not do the same
thing.


I'm not sure John meant he'd try it on his current post, but maybe just that he would try it at some point?


No, I bought the stuff to try on this post. My friend said he did many of his fence posts with it,
and it works great.
