Quotation for Bava Kamma 161:3

שיהו מרעין בחורשין אמר רב פפא לא אמרן אלא דקה בגסה אבל דקה בדקה וגסה בגסה לא וכל שכן גסה בדקה דלא:

that a spring emerging [even] for the first time may be used by the townspeople; that it be permitted to fish with an angle in the Sea of Tiberias, provided no sail is spread as this would detain boats [and thus interfere with navigation]; that it be permitted to ease one's self at the back of a fence even in a field full of saffron; that it be permitted [to the public] to use the paths in private fields until the time when the second rain is expected;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the seventeenth of Marcheshvan; cf. Ta'an. 6b and Ned VIII, 5. ');"><sup>2</sup></span> that it be permitted to turn aside to [private] sidewalks in order to avoid the road-pegs; that one who has lost himself in the vineyards be permitted to cut his way through when going up and cut his way through when coming down;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Though damage be done thereby to the vineyard. ');"><sup>3</sup></span>

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.”
