Put up a small fence. Use wire that is close together. 1/4-1/4 or chicken wire. If it is any larger than a rabbit you might want to concider a small electric fence with a 1 mile charger.
I had bunnies and groundhogs that kept getting in mine. I sprinkled Sevin Dust around the perimeter. So far it has worked. The critters havent been back in it.
)Fence if your problem is rabbits try chicken wire on the bottom(fold bottom half out or bury so they can't go under).
there are probably several different ways to accomplish this but as for the best depends on what you are trying to keep out, have heard moth balls are good for skunks ,etc and you could use a predatory bird statue to scare them off, also pepper or even marigold (odor) will work. Also there are things in your local garden center that will work or if worse comes to worst hire a neighborhood kid with a bb gun good luck
The chicken wire is a good thing but think inexpensive and give dried blood a try. You can get it at any garden center around. Most animals don't like the smell even though it has no smell to us. It will not harm your plants but it has worked well on rabbits and things that tend to eat delicious herbs. Happy planting.
Try citrus peels in the garden.
Is there a type of banana tree that produces edible bananas or palm tree that can grow in zone 6?
