In this study, the effects of layers formed by the mixture of grass, woodchips, leaves and cardboard onwater holding capacity were investigated. Four different mixtures for layers were prepared. The layer wasestablished in 12 weeks as specified in ČSN EN 14045 standards. The moisture content of the mixtures rangedfrom 47% to 48% and the C:N ratio ranged from 30: 1 to 31: 1. The first mixture contained no cardboard, whilethe others contained different amount of cardboard. This type of work is not only important in terms of wasteutilization, but also in terms of studies on erosion control by increasing the soil water holding capacity.
