Kommentar zu Sheviit 5:4
לוּף שֶׁל עֶרֶב שְׁבִיעִית שֶׁנִכְנַס לַשְּׁבִיעִית, וְכֵן בְּצָלִים הַקֵּיצוֹנִים, וְכֵן פּוּאָה שֶׁל עִדִּית, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, עוֹקְרִין אוֹתָן בְּמַאֲרוּפוֹת שֶׁל עֵץ. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, בְּקַרְדֻּמּוֹת שֶׁל מַתָּכוֹת. וּמוֹדִים בְּפוּאָה שֶׁל צְלָעוֹת, שֶׁעוֹקְרִין אוֹתָהּ בְּקַרְדֻּמּוֹת שֶׁל מַתָּכוֹת:
Arum Palaestinum aus dem Jahr vor dem Sabbatical, das in das Sabbatical-Jahr eingetreten ist, und so auch für Sommerzwiebeln und so weiter für Krapp, sagt das Haus Shammai: Man muss es mit Holzharken entwurzeln; während das Haus von Hillel sagt: [man kann es entwurzeln] mit Metalläxten. Beide sind sich über gerippte Rubia einig, dass man sie mit Metalläxten entwurzeln kann.

English Explanation of Mishnah Sheviit
Introduction This mishnah deals with three types of plants that are customary to leave in the ground even after they have fully ripened. It is customary to uproot these plants with a rake and not by hand. The problem with the rake is that it might look like he is working the land, which is of course, forbidden on Sheviit. Surprisingly, the first of these plants is my favorite and yours as well, the luf.

Bet Shammai says: they must be uprooted with wooden rakes. According to Bet Shammai, when one wishes to uproot these types of plants, he must do so with a type of instrument which differs from the one normally used. This will show everyone that his intention is not to work the land but rather to just uproot the plants.

English Explanation of Mishnah Sheviit
They agree in the case of puah with strong roots, that they may be uprooted with metal spades. Bet Shammai agrees that if he wishes to uproot puah that has strong roots, and the wooden rake is not sufficient, that he may use the metal rake.

Another explanation: צלעות – like (Exodus 26:20): “And for the other side wall of the Tabernacle,” meaning to say, the sides of the field, where it is not the practice to sow there.
