If you want to farm or demolish obscene amounts of falling materials (i.e. gravel/sand that fall when a block below them is destroyed) destroy the lowest part of the falling material (referred to as F.M.) and quickly put a torch before the block above it falls. If done correctly, the blocks will fall on the torch, chopping all blocks above it into lootable blocks as if you destroyed them yourself! Joyous day!
P.S.
Sometimes the blocks won't automatically fall; to get them to fall just destroy the block directly above the torch.
