thanks Nick and Kay.
Advice much appreciated. I'll break them up and poke them in, I think,
as I only have the one bin. I've also noticed quite a lot of ants and
woodlice crawling around in it. Is that OK too?

Too dry
You often get woodlice in the dry bits around the edges, but you
shouldn't get them in too much of it.
Try watering it, with water, water from cooking veg, tea, or 'recycled
beer' if you want a good accelerator.
