Talmud for Sheviit 3:2
עַד כַּמָּה מְזַבְּלִין, עַד שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁלֹשׁ אַשְׁפַּתּוֹת לְבֵית סְאָה שֶׁל עֶשֶׂר עֶשֶׂר מַשְׁפֵּלוֹת שֶׁל לֶתֶךְ לֶתֶךְ. מוֹסִיפִין עַל הַמַּשְׁפֵּלוֹת, וְאֵין מוֹסִיפִין עַל הָאַשְׁפַּתּוֹת. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אַף עַל הָאַשְׁפַּתּוֹת:
How much dung may be deposited? Three dung-heaps to every <i>Beit Se'ah</i> [an area of 50 x 50 cubits] [consisting of a minimum of] ten baskets of a <i>Letekh</i> [specific unit of volume] each. One may add to the [number of] baskets, but not to the [number of] heaps. Rabbi Shimon says, even to the [number of] heaps.

Eleazar ben Azariah in Mishnah Ševi‘it 3:2 (Notes 18–22) denying an exception to the rules of the Sabbatical year for accumulation of manure. said the same thing, as we have stated there: “If he had little, he may continuously add to it, but Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah says only if he raises or lowers it by three [hand-breadths] or puts it on a rock.”
