[Tagging] Tagging small areas of bushes, flowers, non-woody perennials, succulents, etc

[Peter Elderson]

The landcover key covers this nicely.
For hedge barrier areas, tag barrier=hedge for the perimeter, then
landcover=hedge to indicate the hedge covers the area (do not land a
balloon there and don't plan to walk through it).

The combined information is then exactly the same as barrier=hedge,
area=yes, which is the established tagging.
