You know what? I think I can make that using a 2 liter pop bottle and duct tape for free. The duct tape can hold it together plus block the light off the roots...
that's a great idea

Agreed, HFF. There has to be a cheap and easy DIY element.
For the rooting hormone, a quick google search returned a bunch of results in the $5-$15 range.

Wow, now That is interesting! So basically, I could use this to propagate a new seedling right about when I would be chopping and dropping anyway?

Yes, would definitely cut down on some of the costs when building a food forest!

true, so if you got the 5 pot system, you could generate 5 seedlings in 8 weeks, so if you started in May you could get 10 seedlings, not sure how well this would work trying to do it in sept and oct when the tree is going dormant, I wonder if it would be better to pot them and bring them in doors and plant the following spring

Very interesting. I would for sure look into that system if I had trees.
Here is a permaculture video with a quick segment on traditional air layering so you can see how it works. The whole video is pretty cool, so if you have the time check it out, however the link below is time stamped to the air layering portion.
