[Avodah] otzar bet din

[Ilana Sober]

RET: exactly the opposte. OBD works to overcome the problem of sefichim.
For fruits you do not need it

AFAIK, the source for OBD is Tosefta Shevi'it 8:1. The examples mentioned
are figs, grapes, and olives - all fruit.

Also - I see how beit din solves the problem that the produce needs to be
hefker and available to all. How does it solve the problem of s'fichin,
which are assur because there is a concern that people might have planted
them deliberately?
