Hi Blake and HOT Thank you for your insight. I will try to follow your advice on "make that a proper multi polygon". I realize 'small gardens' is a bit of a stretch. These few parcels are less than 100 m x 100 m with crop patches typically of 10 to 20 m so I thought they might be some kind of collective urban gardens.
But I don't know how to tag this. [... search in google ... found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_gardening ... ... searching in the wiki ... found http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Food_security#Community_gardens] OK I have been lazy! ;) That fits quite well: Community gardens These are patches of land usually covering one or two city blocks where community members can grow their own produce on an individual plot. garden:type <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:garden:type&action=edit&redlink=1> =* is relatively well-used (see taginfo <http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/garden%3Atype>) and we include it here to make the garden explicitly a community garden, not simply a garden that is in a city and might be publicly accessed. - leisure <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:leisure>=garden <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgarden> - garden:type <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:garden:type&action=edit&redlink=1> =community <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:garden:type%3Dcommunity&action=edit&redlink=1> - access <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access>=* So I can leave it as landuse=farmland knowing the small surface speaks for itself. Second option is leisure=garden + garden:type=community. What do you reckon? Blake Girardot <[email protected]> wrote: > Oh I don't know.

You are right that 'farm' is deprecated. And also from the wiki: landuse <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse>=farmland <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dfarmland>: for farm land (i.e. areas used for tillage and pasture; animals, vegetables, flowers, fruit growing). landuse <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse>=farmyard <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dfarmyard>: for area with farm buildings (like farmhouses, dwellings, farmsteads, sheds, stables, barns, equipment sheds, feed bunkers, etc.) Knowing that, I would then use landuse=farmyard for the yard of the bigger farms; this would be surrounded by big landuse=farmland. A smaller farm on the contrary would be a building, maybe no real yard and a landuse=farmland.
