Actually, it is interesting. First it applies primarily to woodies,
trees and the like, I believe. It is a commercial product that replaces
moss and other similar materials for air layering. Air layering isn't
new, as I'm sure you know. I've used it for years on a number of woody
shrubs. Never did see any reason to use it on perennials though.
The material they've developed is just less expensive, less
time-consuming
and more effective for large-scale operations like nurseries, orchards,
etc.
I didn't look far enough to see if it is reasonably priced for home
use. I probably will when I'm ready to do a large amount of woody
propogation again, though.
