If the wood has rotted, you should hammer in some supports that won't rot. Something like rebar fencing pins? It won't be half as strong as fixing it properly though.

If you really want to avoid concrete there is a new expanding foam fence post system you could try assuming you can borrow / hire a ground auger.
Drill hole in ground, pop in post, pop in expanding foam plumb post and wait 15 mins for foam to dry.
You may want to be careful with a ground auger though when things go wrong it gets silly / hurty in a hurry.

Not sure if this is the right place, but the recent winds seems to have foiled my very temporary repair of a floppy fence.
It looks like the actual post has rotted below the soil so is just sitting on top now (yes I know, not in concrete). I shoved half a broom stick that was lying around down into the ground to kind of hold the fence up.
Looking for a bit more of a long term solution (not involving concrete), should I buy some lengths of wood and hammer into ground to support post? Alternatives? What materials should I look for?
