DAE consider wind when setting fence posts?

I now dig holes deeper and mix concrete with less water for faster setting. It's helped prevent leaning in gusty weather.

Read something about using gravel for drainage under posts. Prevents frost heave and adds stability. @dakotam17 mentioned less water being overkill, but in windy spots, every bit helps. My neighbor's fence leaned bad after a gusty spring. He didn't set the posts deep enough. Dry concrete can crack if not mixed right though.
