A tamper like this:
A lot of these (plus water):

And on a side note, a true Hillbilly has a: "A/C shade-protector/garden hose mister-in order to hopefully get ancient A/C through the day so the wife doesn't kill someone" (these just like the tamper are not open for ordering until our patent pending designs are fully patented?!)
