Hey man! Given your geographic location, you ever a Blues Traveler fan? Their first gig was in my buddy's basement in Morristown

Never been to an actual blues traveler show but I've seen them randomly show up at other shows I've been at. Always appreciate a good harmonica solo!
Haven't randomly seen them as much as I've randomly seen Huey Lewis though I ain't far from Morristown
HA! Seen Traveler more times than I can count and spent a few New Years eves with them at The Roseland before they got huge. Huey was my neighbor in Marin County when I lived there. Super cool guy! There was/is a bar/club in Marin called the Sweetwater and there used to be unusual combinations of people playing and Huey would be there jammin. One night it was Jerry, Huey, Sammy Hagar, Brad Gillis(Ozzy/Night Ranger) and the drummer and bass player of Y&T on stage together playin Dead and blues tunes. Sammy Hagar and Mickey Hart with Huey...Santana, Bob Weir, Lars from Metallica. Crazy combos of people!
Always a good time when Huey showed up. Used to get good combinations of acts back in the day at small shows in the city but now I'm old so I don't get around as much anymore
Hubby was having a hard time visualizing what I was trying to explain I wanted to do re the fence/drainage thing so I drew him pictures lol. If anyone handy wants to chime in before I start tomorrow I'm open to suggestions

You are incorrect. Posts will rot must faster and will not be stable in just clay. Posts rot in concrete because they are installed incorrectly. The concrete is usually below or at grade and the water will pool on top of the concrete surrounding the wood. Thus, causing rot.
Most building codes require 6' feet height limits. Some less. There is no standard. Check your local code and CCR or build back the same height. Use kiln dried pressure treated posts. NOT from lowes or depot!!! 4x4 will work, but I always use 6x6 at gates if using wood. Dig a hole at minimum two feet. Closer to three is better. Fill with concrete to grade and have a little xtra concrete left over. Once it starts to set a little bit, shape some of the remaining concrete a little up the post (above grade) and away from the post at an angle like this /lllllll\. The water will then run away from the post base and wont be able to collect against the wood. Use a trowl or a small piece of wet wood to smooth it and make it look nice. It's also advisable to paint or use another product to protect the wood. If not paint, I like Waterlox Marine or OSMO products. Spar varnishes are the next best with multiple (a Lot!) of coats
The posts will be there long after you are not
