If you fill the hole with rubble or bricks etc, all you are doing is
making a nice sump for water to sit in thereby rotting the post. Fill
the hole with concrete.

how much conrete should i put in exactly?

if you say 2 foot of the post is going in - how much extra space should i
dig around (under?) the post so i can stick the concrete in, guy suggested 1
bag of mix per post - but i don't have the bags yet and i have no idea how
much concrete there will be when its mixed!
