Question
Is it permitted to plant during the Shemitah in a perforated pot that has a hole at the bottom?
Answer
It is forbidden.
Source
It is explained in the Gemara (Shabbat 95a) that a perforated pot is considered as land according to the Torah because it draws nourishment from the ground, and thus it is clear that the same applies to Shemitah. Azmera Leshimcha (Shemitah Edition 1).
