שביעית פרק א׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
הרי אלו מצטרפין. ונחשבין כאילו הן של איש אחד וחורשין כל בית סאה בשבילן:
וכמה יהא ביניהן. בין אילן לאילן:
כמלא בקר וכליו. צמד בקר עם העול, והיינו ד׳ אמות. אבל פחות מכאן למיעקר קיימי ואין חורשין בשבילן:

Mishnayos Sheviis Perek 1 Mishnah 6
שביעית פרק א׳ משנה ו׳
Bartenura
נטיעות (young trees) – young; and the old ones are called a tree, and here it comes to tell us that een though that three trees in a Bet Seah (i.e., 50 cubits by 50 cubits) is called an orchard and we plow the entire Bet Seat for them, with young trees, we don’t plow until there will be ten of them.
שורה – that are planted in one place like a wall and are not spread out.
שורה – The Aramaic translation of “wall” is a row.
עטרה – a fence around them.
אין חורשין אלא לצרכן – because when they are spread out, they appear like one is plowing for the needs of the tree, but where they exist in one place, it appears like they are improving the land for the needs of the Seventh Year, and not for the needs of the trees.
נטיעות. ילדות, ולזקנות קרי אילן, והכא קמ״ל דאע״ג דשלשה אילנות לבית סאה קרוי שדה אילן וחורשין כל בית סאה בשבילן, בנטיעות ילדות אין חורשין עד שיהיו עשרה:
שורות. שנטועות במקום א׳ כחומה ואינן מפוזרות:
אין חורשין אלא לצרכן. משום דכשמפוזרות נראה כחורש לצורך האילן, אבל היכא דקיימי במקום אחד נראה כמתקן את הארץ לצורך שביעית ולא לצורך האילנות:
שורה. תרגום חומה שורה:
עטרה. גדר סביב:

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.
