Adding cement to postcrete

    I use postcrete on fence posts and find it very good. I’m just trying to figure out if I added a bag of regular cement to the postcrete would it increase the strength? I figure this would be a cheaper option rather than just using more postcrete.
    Thanks.

    There is no need. For the footing around a post, it is the size of the footing that gives its solidness rather than the raw strength of the concrete. Often just lean mix is used.

    You can add more cement if you want, but it won't make a difference.
