Responsa for Eruvin 46:13
קרפף שהוא יותר מבית סאתים שהוקף לדירה נזרע רובו הרי הוא כגינה ואסור
And if we had been told, 'The halachah is in agreement with R'Akiba' it might have been assumed that [an enclosed area that was] long and narrow is not [permitted],<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since R. Akiba required a squared area.');"><sup>22</sup></span> hence we were also informed that 'the halachah is in agreement with R'Jose'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That a non-squared area is also permitted.');"><sup>23</sup></span>
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. Is a person permitted to carry objects on the Sabbath from a planted garden to the house and from the house to the garden, when the garden is adjoining the house?
A. If the major portion of the area of the garden is planted, it is considered a separate enclosure and a person is not permitted to carry objects on the Sabbath from the house to the garden or vice versa. But, if only a small part of the area of the garden is planted, the garden is considered part of the courtyard.
