On mild days that followed the completion of the project, I pound in more rocks and dirt to support the fence post.

In the spring, vacated fence holes will be filled, some rotted boards will be replaced, all panels will be power washed and stained white to provide maximum reflection of sun light on to the garden and nearby raised beds.
