I have just emptied out some pots in which I had spring flowering plants,
(daffodils and primula). I found lots of woodlice in the compost. Do these
woodlice damage the plants? Do they eat the roots? Is it safe to use the
compost in the garden?

Your help would be appreciated.

I have woodlice in my pots too but the plants are fine. Woodlice like
to live in dark areas so they crawl up into the pots from underneath,
standing the pots on trays may help. I like to live with them, humans
find it all too easy to kill everything that moves by spraying chemicals
everywhere.
