If I'm out walking with the dogs, I tend to not go near the edge UNLESS I'm mapping, because they won't crawl under hedges if I'm already a fair way off, but will do so happily if it doesn't take them far. I suspect I'm not the only one, so you'd end up with a ludicrously fat hedge. I also tend not to go into corners & will often stop a little before the end of a field.
