Any suggestions for stopping them?

..perhaps they would like some birdseed better that is scattered nearby..? ;)
Other than that..fence the area off and chuck a cat and/or terrier in..that should sort the mice and the sweetcorn out.. ::)
..sorry...there is not much you can do other than provide something else..

Had the same problem with sunflowers. I don't bother growing them anymore. :(

Develop a taste for sweetcorn that isn't ridiculously sweet - grow the old-fashioned kind that don't taste like a sugar cube.

Pick them when they have flavour and before they become sugar - mice are like kids - they have "no taste" for the finer things in life.

Cheers.
With a microholding you always get too much or bugger-all. (I'm fed up calling it an allotment garden - it just encourages the tidy-police).

The simple/complex split is more & more important: Simple fertilisers Poor, complex ones Good. Simple (old) poisons predictable, others (new) the opposite.
