I cannot answer your question about how long it will last in the ground but it is probably too good to be used for that purpose.

It is not at all resistant to termite or borer attack and is rated as class 3 for durability, which means it is not all that durable.

Will also attract termites towards the house. Those beasties don't need any extra invites.
