Commento su Kil'ayim 5:4
גֶּפֶן שֶׁהִיא נְטוּעָה בְגַת אוֹ בְנֶקַע, נוֹתְנִין לָהּ עֲבוֹדָתָהּ, וְזוֹרֵעַ אֶת הַמּוֹתָר. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אִם אֵין שָׁם אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, לֹא יָבִיא זֶרַע לְשָׁם. וְהַבַּיִת שֶׁבַּכֶּרֶם, זוֹרְעִין בְּתוֹכוֹ:
Se una vite viene piantata in un torchio o in una fessura, gli diamo il suo spazio di lavoro [per la lavorazione di sei volani] e uno può seminare nel resto. Rabbi Yose dice: Se non ci sono quattro cubiti lì, non si possono portare semi lì. È permesso seminare in una casa che si trova in una vigna.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kilayim
A vine planted in a winepress or in a depression [in the ground], they leave it room to work on it, and one may sow on the rest. Rabbi Yose says: if there are not four cubits there, one may not bring seed there. If there is a vine found inside the winepress or in another depression in the ground, then all one has to do is leave space to work the vine (six handbreadths around the entire vine) and then he may plant the rest of the area. Rabbi Yose holds that if the winepress or depression is not four cubits by four cubits, then there can’t be enough space in it to work the vine and plant seeds. He can only plant seeds there if the winepress is more than four cubits by four cubits.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kilayim
As for a house that is within a vineyard, it is permitted to sow there. A house is considered to be its own domain. Therefore, if there is a house within a vineyard, he can plant seeds inside the house, even if the vines above the house are intertwined. A house is different from a wall or a trench in that the house creates inner space.
