take really dry really good shit and grind it into powder...fill a bowl with high strength powder and corner each hit(somethin i used to do)..otherwise break up nicely and fill semi tight with small pieces..gummier or moist bud..cornering is an efficient technique/etiquette usually..with groups especially...unless its all you you dont have to worry about 'hogging light and take a huge rip of the entire bowl after you pack haha
