1A karachat [bald patch] of a vineyard, Beit Shammai say, [one may plant there if it measures twenty-four [square] cubits, and Beit Hillel say, [it must measure] sixteen [square] cubits. The machol [the outer belt] of the vineyard, Beit Sahmmai say, [if it measures] sixteen cubits [one may sow there] and, Beit Hillel say twelve cubits. What is a karachat of a vineyard? A vineyard that became bald in the center. If it be less than sixteen cubits [according to Beit Hillel], one may not sow there, if it is sixteen cubits, it is given its work space [for tillage] and one may sow in the rest.

Anything that is ten handbreadths high. [What is considered] a trench? That which is ten [handbreadths] deep and four [handbreadths] wide.

4A partition of reeds [around a vineyard], if between one reed and another there is less than ten hanbreadths through which a kid can enter [pass through], it is [considered] a partition. A fence [around a vineyard] that has been breached, up to ten cubits is considered an entrance [and he may plant seeds next to it]. [If the breach is] greater than this [ten cubits], it is forbidden [to sow right] opposite the breach. If there are several breaches in the fence [none greater than ten cubits], if the [total area] still standing is greater than the [total area] which has been breached it is permitted, but if the [total area] of that which has been breached is greater than the [total area] of that which is standing, it is forbidden [to sow right] opposite the breach.

9If one plants his vineyard sixteen cubits apart [between the rows] he may not bring [sow] seeds there. Rabbi Yehudah said, There was an incident in [the city of] Tzalmon, where one planted his vineyard sixteen cubits apart, and [one year] he turned the branches of two rows towards one side and sowed the [empty] plowed ground. The next year he turned the branches towards the other side and sowed the fallow ground, and the matter was brought before the Sages, and they permitted it. Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Shimon say, [even] if one plants his vineyard [only] eight cubits [apart] it is permitted.
