Mishnah 1א׳

בְּנוֹת שׁוּחַ, שְׁבִיעִית שֶׁלָּהֶן, שְׁנִיָּה, שֶׁהֵן עוֹשׂוֹת לְשָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, הַפַּרְסָאוֹת, שְׁבִיעִית שֶׁלָּהֶן, מוֹצָאֵי שְׁבִיעִית, שֶׁהֵן עוֹשׂוֹת לִשְׁתֵּי שָׁנִים. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, לֹא אָמְרוּ אֶלָּא בְנוֹת שׁוּחַ:

White figs--their Sabbatical year is the second year [of the Sabbatical cycle], because it takes them three years to produce. Rabbi Yehuda says: Persian figs--their Sabbatical year is the year after the Sabbatical year, because it takes them two years to produce. They replied to him: They only stated [this rule] about white figs.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הַטּוֹמֵן אֶת הַלּוּף בַּשְּׁבִיעִית, רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, לֹא יִפְחֹת מִסָּאתַיִם, עַד גֹּבַהּ שְׁלֹשָׁה טְפָחִים, וְטֶפַח עָפָר עַל גַּבָּיו. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, לֹא יִפְחֹת מֵאַרְבַּעַת קַבִּים, עַד גֹּבַהּ טֶפַח, וְטֶפַח עָפָר עַל גַּבָּיו. וְטוֹמְנוֹ בִמְקוֹם דְּרִיסַת אָדָם:

If one stores black calla lily in the ground during the Sabbatical year, Rabbi Meir says: He must store no less than two Se'ah [specific unit of volume], up to a height of three Tefachim, with one Tefach of earth on top of it. The Sages say: He must store no less than four Kabim [specific unit of volume], up to a height of one Tefach, with one Tefach of earth on top of it. One must store it in a place where people walk.

Mishnah 3ג׳

לוּף שֶׁעָבְרָה עָלָיו שְׁבִיעִית, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אִם לָקְטוּ הָעֲנִיִּים אֶת עָלָיו, לָקָטוּ. וְאִם לָאו, יַעֲשֶׂה חֶשְׁבּוֹן עִם הָעֲנִיִּים. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, אִם לָקְטוּ הָעֲנִיִּים אֶת עָלָיו, לָקָטוּ. וְאִם לָאו, אֵין לָעֲנִיִּים עָלָיו חֶשְׁבּוֹן:

Black calla lily that has passed the Sabbatical year, Rabbi Eliezer says: If the poor have gathered its leaves, they have gathered [and nothing further is required]; but if not, one must reckon with the poor [and pay them for what grew during the Sabbatical year]. Rabbi Yehoshua says: If the poor have gathered its leaves, they have gathered; but if not, the poor are not owed a reckoning from him.

Mishnah 4ד׳

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:

Black calla lily from the year before the Sabbatical that has entered the Sabbatical year, and so too for summer onions, and so too for madder, the house of Shammai say: one must uproot it with wooden rakes; whereas the house of Hillel say: [one may uproot it] with metal axes. Both agree about ribbed Rubia, that one may uproot it with metal axes.
