There is a lot of conversations on the web about whether or not to set your posts in concrete. 1 recommendation I read was to place roofing membrane around the posts before placing the posts in the ground. My question: Worth the extra time or not? And is it better in concrete than in dirt, or visa versa? As always, thanks in advance.

Seems it may not be worth the extra time and effort to use a flashing type arrangement. Just stick with what I have always done. Thanks for the input.
