I just throw one into the bottom and add 1-2 oz of dried bud. The trick to Boveda is they are more of a preservative than anything else. They will preserve the current state of the bud, so the trick, imo is to dry it naturally and slowly (if possible) until you can put it into a jar and the rh is stable at about 58-62% by itself. Then add a pack if you want. It will help preserve the current state. I will usually take a few buds out of a jar w/ a boveda pack and put into another jar w/ out one, or leave it out for a few hours to let it crisp up, it smokes better that way. I have some buds in jars from 4+ months ago w/ boveda packs in them and they are still very fresh smelling and tasting. The good bud never makes it that long though.
