Default How deep to sink fence posts next to ditch

Hello Andy

AJ I have to replace a 3 foot high panel fence which has garden
AJ on one side, and the "outside" of the fence then slopes down
AJ at about 45 degrees to a drainage ditch.
AJ Does anyne have any suggestions as to how deep to sink the
AJ fence posts, given that there is less support on the ditch
AJ side than there would normally be?

I'd got 12-18", towards the latter if the digging is easy. Then
concrete them in, but others prefer rammed stones.
