wood lice
 

I have an awful lot of them in my compost bin, is this normal? I have
taken delivery of 2 wooden slatted boxes, from local block drive builder,
which contained their cobbles, sets etc, I am just waiting for someone
strong to help me lift them down the garden, so I can have 2 boxes side by
side, and I have 2 pallets ready and waiting for 3 more to come along to
have 3 side by side, I really like composting now, its like watching a very
slow miracle!

It's normal and part of the process.

Yes.

There's a lot of wild life in there (including those you can see -
bacteria), without it you wouldn't get compost.

As people have said, it's normal. It can indicate that the compost
heap is a bit too dry, so I suggest keeping it a bit damper. But,
if it is rotting down OK, don't bother.
