The base of it should really be at least 6 inches below the average frost depth for your area, otherwise you run the risk of frost heaves working it out of the ground.

Best bet would be to dig the hole with a post hole digger and get it down at least 40 inches, set the pole, then fill the hole with concrete mix.
