חֲבִילֵי קַשׁ וַחֲבִילֵי עֵצִים וַחֲבִילֵי זְרָדִין, אֵין מְסַכְּכִין בָּהֶן. וְכֻלָּן שֶׁהִתִּירָן, כְּשֵׁרוֹת. וְכֻלָּן כְּשֵׁרוֹת לַדְּפָנוֹת:

Bundles of straw and bundles of wood and bundles of zradin [kinds of reeds, used as animal food when moist, and as fuel, when dry] are not to be used as schach [when they are tied. Not because they are pasul; but sometimes one comes with his bundle on his shoulder and places it on top of the succah to dry — and then he decides to use it as schach. But Scripture states: "shall you make" — and not from what is already made with what is pasul (see 1:4). And this is not even made for shade but for drying, so that it is made "with what is pasul."] And all of them [that we learned to be pasul as schach] — if he untied them, they are kasher. And they are all kasher as walls. [For "succah" connotes schach and not walls.]
