You can try fencing, but if it's raccoons and possum even groundhogs they will climb a fence. That said if you go with a fence for rabbits make sure you bury the bottom edge under the ground. The recommendation is to make a 90 angle with the fencing below ground so if they dig they will run into the short edge. That's to prevent tunneling. One more thing to try is decoys. Some people try Owls and my grandfather liked fake snakes. Just remember to move them around in the garden so they don't learn to avoid the snakes area. Good luck
I have a cat that don't like anything else.
I made stakes and tied soap in thin tea towels to the stakes low to the ground to deter the bunnies and other critters! Make sure to use strong stinky soap, like Irish spring!

Maybe the small animals would not like getting used coffee grounds on their paws. Bigger animals, like deer will go through whatever they can to get you yummies.
