Kilayim

Does the kilei zera'im prohibition also apply to pots with a hole?

Does the prohibition of kilei zera'im apply to annual flowers/plants that are not eaten?

You taught me that flowers and non-edible plants (and trees) can grow under a vine, but vegetables and edible herbs cannot.

What about a plant that I understood to be only ornamental, but I have discovered on the internet can also be used like spinach and other edible leaves?

 The plant in question is sweet potato vine. Its roots or tubers are not edible but the leaves can be used as food. Is it a problem even if we don’t eat them?

Our grapevine is in its second year of orlah. If we cannot let that plant grow under the vine, has it had a negative effect on the vine and future grapes already?

I planted an African blue basil plant in my garden (in Israel). I recently learned that this plant is propagated through cross pollination of two other basil species. Is it permitted to keep this plant in my garden? I assume so but want to check. I would love to understand the analysis. Thank you!

I am growing peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers . Each vegetable is in a separate container on my porch that has a concrete floor. all of the pots are perforated. am I obligated to ensure a certain amount of distance between the containers due to laws of kilayim? For example, the pepper pot and tomato pot are sitting directly on the concrete floor and when I water them, and the water flows out of the bottom of the pots - the waters are mixing - maybe one is feeding from the other? Thank you

I had a pot with sweet potatoes and wanted to plant potatoes there instead. So, I thought that I cleaned all the sweet potato remnants, but lo and behold! This was the result. Are they kilei zera'im? What should I do now? Will I be permitted to eat the potatoes and sweet potatoes?

Sholom u’vrocho!

I came across your article on line about the above topic.

I have 2 grape vines in separate locations in my garden in Chutz L’Aretz (Manchester).

Whilst I have taken care not to plant any vegetables near or under the vine I have some self-seeded chives which are growing near one. These are not eaten but have been allowed to grow as they produce purple flowers which attract the bees.

Near the second vine there are some alpine strawberries which have grown and spread just under the end of the leaf canopy. Again, these are not eaten but left for their tiny white flowers.

Do I need to uproot either or both the chives and the alpine strawberries?

Please advise. Yasher koach.

My grapevine has “reached out” and tied some of its tendrils (if that’s the right word) around the branch of a pomegranate tree. Any problem?

Is a drip irrigation pipe considered a barrier when growing different types of vegetables on either side of the drip pipe? When it comes to seed starters do these pose a kilayim problem?
