This refers to a general cleaning of pond fields. This work follows about two weeks after a general weeding of dikes, hagaphap, and walls, laba 2, allowing the vegetation to decompose. The vegetation is gathered, coarse vegetation is sorted out and piled into mounds, pen'ol, on the dikes, and decomposed vegetation is turned over, balin 1, and trampled into the mud. The walls and dikes of seedbeds are weeded, and the seedbeds cleaned immediately.
