abstract: In 2004-2007 the suitability of grass mixtures of Festuca rubra and Lolium perenne and some waste materials (low peat, bark of coniferous trees, compost, municipal waste water sediment, straw, municipal grassland cuttings) for biological reclamation of ground without soil was studied. Grass mixtures were tested for their application as material for building lawns on sand. On poor substrates, Festuca rubra produced good turf and good looking lawn, on media rich in nutrients the Lolium perenne type of grass mixture proved to be the best.
