I have noticed that even though we cover our comp bin its full of

Is it s problem (will i get loads of oak saplings growing out of my
compost?

No and yes, respectively. I have a similar problem with walnuts.
The composting will kill most, and the others will be mildly
annoying weeds - just pull them up and recompost them.

Or pot them and sell them at a farmers market or give them as gifts...It is
interesting to note that if you were to take a bunch of these acorns and pot
them intentionally...none would grow. But throw then in a compost pile and
bingo-trees galore!
