I just set things like that down in buckets of used oil for a week or so and then put the oily end in the ground. I know not proper to use oil for that, but it works. I use 5 gal buckets and put how ever many posts in them as will fit. you might have to dump in some more oil after a couple of days though as it gets sucked up into the dry wood. This does not work for wet or unseasoned wood. If you want to get proper, sit them in some type of preservative for a week or so or boiled linseed oil works well, but is not cheap. I use the boiled linseed oil technique for wooden porch posts on the bottom. They last 25 yrs without rotting at the bottom in this application. Not sure yet how long they last in the ground though, but so far just as long as new pressure treated lumber does.
