Quotation for Bava Kamma 161:7
אמר רב ירמיה לא קשיא כאן לזרע כאן לזירין לזרע קשו לה עשבים דמכחשי לה לזירין מעלי לה דכי קיימי ביני עשבים מירכבא
Again, even in the case of shrubs still attached to the soil, permission was not given except while they were still in a wet state, but once they had become dry it would not be so.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As they would then be the exclusive property of the owner. ');"><sup>7</sup></span> But in any case it is not permitted to uproot [them].
Mishnah Kilayim
His field was sown cumin or with arum, he must not sow on top of them, since they produce crops only after three years. [A field of] grain among which sprang up some aftergrowth woad, alternatively an area of threshing-floors in which many species sprang up, alternatively [a field of] clover among which grew up a number of species of herbs, he is not obliged to weed them out. But if he weeded or cut down the weeds, they say to him: “Uproot it all, except for one species.”
