אין זה אלא גדר הכרם. מקום שבין גדר לכרם גדר הכרם הוא קרוי, ואפילו אין שם אלא שש אמות מרחיק ארבע אמות וזורע את המותר:
ואיזהו מחול הכרם. שצריך י״ב אמות, מקום שבין ב׳ כרמים. ות״ק סבר מקום שבין ב׳ כרמים ככרם שחרב באמצעו הוא נדון. ובירושלמי מוכיח דלא אמר ר׳ יהודה איזהו מחול הכרם בין שני הכרמים אלא כגון שאין שורות הכרמים שוות של זו לזו, כגון דכרם של צד זה של מחול שורותיה מן המזרח למערב ושבצד אחר מן הצפון לדרום, דאם היו מכוונים מודה רבי יהודה דנראה כקרחת הכרם ובעי ט״ז אמה. ואין הלכה כר׳ יהודה:
איזהו גדר. המפריש בין הכרם שיכול להניח כרם מצד זה ולזרוע מצד אחר, וכן חריץ:

כלאים פרק ד׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
ג' טפחים – that all which is less than three [handbreadths] is like a לבוד/joined (i.e., that two solid surfaces are considered to be joined if there is a gap less than three handbreadths between them). And this is the measurement in order that a kid [goat, i.e., young animal] can enter.
הרי הוא כמחיצה – and it is permitted to support/uphold vines from this side and seeds from that side.
נדון כפתח – and even opposite it to it, it is permitted to support/uphold, but more than ten [cubits], it is not considered like an opening and one needs requires distancing corresponding to the place of the breach.
ואם הפרוץ מרובה על העומד אסור כנגד הפרוץ – but corresponding to the part which remains standing it is permitted if it is four [cubits] wide, but less than four [cubits] wide, even opposite the standing part, it is prohibited.
ג׳ טפחים. דכל פחות מג׳ כלבוד דמי. והוא שיעור כדי שיכנס הגדי:
הרי הוא כמחיצה. ומותר לסמוך גפנים מצד זה וזרעים מצד זה:
נדון כפתח. ואפילו כנגדו מותר לסמוך אבל יותר מעשר לא חשיב כפתח וצריך הרחקה כנגד המקום הפרוץ:
ואם הפרוץ מרובה על העומד אסור כנגד הפרוץ. אבל כנגד העומד מותר אם הוא רחב ארבעה, אבל פחות מארבעה אף כנגד העומד אסור:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

אין זה אלא גדר הכרם (this [space between the vineyard and the fence] is only [the area of] the fence of the fence of the vineyard) the place that is between the fence and the vineyard is called the fence of the vineyard, even if there aren’t there other than six cubits, he distances it four cubits and sows the remainder [of the vineyard].
ואיזהו מחול הכרם – that requires twelve cubits, it is the space between two vineyards. But the first Tanna/teacher holds that the place between two vineyards is judged like the vineyard that was destroyed in the middle, and in the Talmud of the Land of Israel, it proves that Rabbi Yehuda did not say, “And what is the outer space of the vineyard? The area between the two vineyards,” but rather, as for example, that the rows of the vineyards are not equivalent one to the other, as for example, the vineyard of this side of the free space of their wows from east to west and that is one the other side from north to south, for if they were corresponding, Rabbi Yehuda admits that they appear like the razed portion of the vineyard and would require sixteen cubits. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
איזהו גדר – A person who separates between the vineyard is able to place a vineyard from this side and to sow from the other side, and similarly for a ditch.
