You know one idea that will make it slightly easier for you, is that you don't necessarrily have to bag it up in the area where you will layer it. Rather you can take a seedling pot and remove the bottom from it. Place it right on top of the soil and fill your spagnum mix up in this pot after you have rung, and applied rooting hormone to your tree. Does this make sense. I wish I had a picture to show but I do not. You might inquire with Ripsgreentree or Al about this further. Both have done a number of layers since I have been on this site.
