Question about setting posts in really wet ground

Just finished a job in Portland where the ground was basically mud. Had to choose between using a standard concrete mix or a fast-setting mix with extra gravel. Went with the fast-set and added about 30% more gravel by volume to help with drainage. It set up fine overnight, but I'm a little worried about long-term frost heave. Anyone have a better method for super soggy spots like that?

Try a geotextile fabric layer first.

Portland mud" sounds like a total nightmare to work with!
