What if you get below the frost line?
Do you need any buckets?

I would still, however, use the tubes. IIRC, they are pretty cheap.

Actually, his comment is right on point. I cannot notarize my own junk so having Jamie as a resource could be valuable.

Why use buckets? Just fill the hole with the concrete. I would still, however, use the tubes. IIRC, they are pretty cheap.

All you need to do, Zeke is contain the concrete somehow so it adheres to the post. You can either just dig a reasonably sized hole or use one of those tubes. In theory, the bucket would work but I am suspect because they are really smooth and are smaller on the bottom than on the top. That means they could pop out of the ground fairly easily.
FWIW, the posts for my front porch are set in buckets.
