Air Layering Question: Spagnum vs. Pot-On-Tree
 

I have a question about using soil instread of spagnum moss in air
layering techniques.
[I reference this google post for details:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ai...aol.com&rnum=1]
in this description the Bark Removal Method requires spagnum moss. The
Flap Method suggests using a quick draining soil mixture. Will a soil
mixture still allow for the development of roots given the density of
soil is greater then moss? The advise from this post suggests that the
soil approach developes faster; however, the use of a pot with soil
could be set up incorrectly.

Cheers! nb
