Hi Guy, No I have not seen this particular method or clamshell devise but basically it is not too dissimilar to a normal air layer to which there are a number of variations, most of which work quite well. Yes this was interesting though, thanks for the post, Michael.

Heh, I should have specified Australian Supplier. Although if the postage isn't too bad might still be worth it

Sorry couldn't find an Aussie supplier for you. Postage is a killer, it was around $45-$55 depending what you bought. I'll look into it further from some other angles and see what I can find out.

I have just sent them an email asking for an Aus distributor or pricing for a bulk order. I'll let you know a response.

Have seen similar: http://www.leevalley.com/us/Garden/page ... 36&p=46938

The clamshell seems to be a bit simpler though... and probably cheaper :P
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!
