do you pour in part of bag, then water, then more mix, then water?

I've poured in part of the bag, some water, more of the bag and then more water

Youd get better hydration that way. Use a small piece of rebar to tamp it.

I’ve tried not pre-mixing and was burned by a crumble mess of not solid concrete

if the fence posts are the size of fully grown redwoods, your holes will be fine

I'm assuming these are wood posts. If so, make sure the top of the concrete is

If I'm using Quikcrete, I don't even add water. I just dump the bag in the hole

I’ve used that process on 3 fences. Works great.
