Terumot & Ma’aserot
Separating terumot and ma’aserot from herbs in advance
I grow herbs (thyme, rosemary, basil, etc.) and use them as seasoning. We actually eat them; they don’t only provide a flavor. How am I supposed to go about taking terumot and ma’aserot from them? Each time I pick a small bunch of leaves, so I would set aside less than a leaf? For example: how much am I supposed to take from the 2-3 basil leaves that I add to the spaghetti sauce?

Advanced separation of terumot and ma'aserot: How to do it and when should it be done?
Will the following apply in my case? I read that “while there is a halachic solution to separate in advance once every week, it should only be employed if you are concerned that someone (family member, perhaps) will harvest without separating”. (I assume that in advance means like a spiritual separation; that can be done before one has any produce picked/in one’s hand), In my circumstance, until I have I bigger yield, should / could I separate in advance once every week? If this is applicable in this case, please advise how this is done?
Obligation to separate and give t&m from greenhouse produce
Hello, I teach at a girls’ high school. As part of our agriculture classes, we have two greenhouses and also a few fruit trees. I signed up the school with Beit Ha'otzar, but I’m not sure whether a regular membership fee is sufficient or if I should have arranged some kind of expanded membership.

Perutah for ma'aser sheni - how does it work?
I didn’t quite understand the issue of the coin used for terumot and ma‘aserot. What exactly is this coin? Is it just regular money? Also, does this mean I can’t eat fruit from a garden if I don’t have the coin with me at that moment—for example, if I’m at the school where I work and there are fruit trees there?
Picking herbs in a public area and guiding rules determining the obligation for separating terumot & ma'aserot
My friend asked me about the obligation to separate terumot and ma'aserot from herbs growing on bushes in towns. I thought that herbs growing in public areas are exempt, but someone else said they weren't.
I was also wondering about those growing in pots in home gardens.
Could you tell me the guiding rules that determine when terumot and ma'aserot are obligated??
