MB 336.4 – MB 336.8 – Handling Seeds, Plants, and Potted Herbs on Shabbos

This episode covers Mishnah Berurah 336.4–8, focusing on outdoor activities on Shabbos—especially handling seeds, plants, and potted herbs. We review when scattering seeds for animals is permitted, concerns about accidental sowing, the status of plants growing from moisture on utensils, and the rules for inserting decorative plants into moist soil. We also discuss the halachos of pots with and without holes, moving potted plants, and avoiding inadvertent planting or uprooting.
