If you really don't like the woodlice, what about sitting your growbags on wooden pallets to keep them off your
decking, might reduce the numbers a bit!

Woodlice don't usually do damage to tomatoes or other plants as they feed on rotting vegetation and wood. Every time I move a pot, and I have lots in my garden, there are hundreds of them underneath and I haven't noticed any damage. Carry on as usual with your grow bags and give the plants some tomato feed once in a while as the nutrients in the bags are bound to dissipate through watering etc. Happy tomatoing!
