Abstract/Contents:"Experiments were carried out with substrates from recycling material of the granulation 2-32 and 2-16 mm from demolition material in connection with additions of 30 and 40 Vol. per cent bio waste material compost. After finishing the work, the quotes of taking root which were satisfactory, amounted, on an average, to 87 per cent at the end of the experiment, after 5 years, the vitality of the vegetation concerning the thickness of the vegetal carrying layer amounted to from 20 to 35 cm, and that was comparable to that of ordinary substrates. An additional application of fertilizer to the experimental variants did not improve the vitality. The conclusion is as follows: the additional nutrient supply from the compost over several years is suffient [sufficient] for the plants. Neither the addition of compost nor the additional fertilization encourages the development of weeds, with the result that the input for the management is also not higher than that for ordinary substrates. The plant species used in the experiment reacted differently according to the species concerned. During the first experimental years, most of the shrubs showed certain advantages. Species, such as Aster linosyris, Bergenia cordifolia, Buphtalmum salicifolium, Salvia nemorosa and Sesleria autumnalis, reached high vitality values even at the end of the experiment. Long-term undergrouth [undergrowth] vegetation of the species Crataegus monogyna, Acer campestre, Lonicera xylosteum, Rosa virginiana, Cotinus coggygria, Potentilla fruticosa as well as Juniperus communis 'Hibernica' and Pinus mugo 'Pumilio' proved superior, showing a much higher vitality."
