Responsa for Eruvin 46:2
איכא בינייהו דבר מועט דתניא ר' יהודה אומר דבר מועט יש על שבעים אמה ושירים ולא נתנו חכמים בו שיעור
For it was taught: R'Judah stated, [two beth se'ah] exceed seventy cubits and a fraction [square] by a very small margin but the Sages did not indicate its exact dimensions. And what [is the area of] the size of two beth se'ah? - One like that of the courtyard of the Tabernacle.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which Moses made in the wilderness, sc. 100 X 50 cubits (Ex. XXVII, 18) .');"><sup>3</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.
