Do not blame Otzar Ha'aretz, please. We have tomatos, cukes, kishuim, peppers in many colors, eggplant, kohlrabi, bananas, as well as many things that are not (yet) kedushat shevi'it. We even have cherry tomatos! Everything is labeled clearly. We are happy with our salad.<BR/><BR/>And our rav also said forget about pieces that you normally wouldn't pick up off the counter and toss into your salad, and forget about the tomato juice on the cutting board. And you can throw away NON-shevi'it veggies with the shevi'it as long as it's all equally fresh.Ye'he Sh'mey Raba Mevorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10880916203103730085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-53997493623473633542007-10-17T03:16:00.000+02:002007-10-17T03:16:00.000+02:00My super here in kiryat arba has otzar haaretz but...My super here in kiryat arba has otzar haaretz but just vegatbles no fruit whats with that ? also its crazy because the stuff goes bad and they just leave it there yuck! someone bag it and put it away!!<BR/><BR/>There are 2 other super's here i'll check them out and see what they have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-74068131801077524842007-10-16T06:35:00.000+02:002007-10-16T06:35:00.000+02:00Please visit http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot...Please visit http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html for a novel approach to shemittah. Let's focus on keeping the spirit of shemittah in tact rather than on the nitty grittys. It's a year of sharing and partying and things shouldn't really cost. It's a year for eating! Let's go on tiyulim picking outings.Robin Tickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460393683799764436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-34979447677506811062007-10-15T09:35:00.000+02:002007-10-15T09:35:00.000+02:00Rav Shaul Yisraeli allowed throwing out leftovers ...Rav Shaul Yisraeli allowed throwing out leftovers of kedushas shviis foods that I had on my plate but did not eat - he was of the opinion that it was no longer something that humans would eat. I presume that he did not require vegetables to be dipped in bleach before they can be disposed of - as long as most people would not eat it anymore (and most people don't eat the leftovers from someone else's plate).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-2766395427883022102007-10-15T07:32:00.000+02:002007-10-15T07:32:00.000+02:00My rabbi said I didn't have to worry about little ...My rabbi said I didn't have to worry about little bits of cucumbers or the juice from the tomatoes that are left on the plate.

What does one do with "shmita garbage," that it must be kept in a separate can? And why was it necessary to keep the cukes & scallions separate?
