@Phyllis Roestenberg For rabbits, you can use mesh wire, or screen cloth to protect crops. For decorative stuff you could try growing things that are naturally distasteful to them. As for squirrels, release the hounds! Squirrels are pretty cheeky but if you teach them that your yard is a dog territory, they will be a bit more reluctant to go eating your things.

@Sarah Melocco I don't have an answer to all your questions Sarah, but in terms of wasps and snakes, it really just depends on what you plan on throwing on there. For example, if you throw in proteins like meat and such, you will attract rodents like mice, which in turn will attract snakes. Snakes in and of themselves aren't really that keen on compost piles because they use their dens to thermoregulate, and even on a good day compost heaps are warm on the inside. As for wasps, again depends on what you throw in. Wasps like sugar. If you start throwing fallen or rotting apples, watermelon with lots of the red, or really any fruit, they will find it and they will feast on it.

Hello! Thanks for starting a garden club. I've been looking to join one for a while now. I'm theoretically interested in permaculture and food forests in urban environments, although as a person renting a house, I can't exactly follow through on all the ideas and principles. So, for now, I have a few garden beds that'll be my first year growing veg.
