in the greenhouse I use 20-10-20 at 200 ppm once a day on bananas, going to 24-8-16 when the weather gets hot at 300 ppm to really push some fast growth. I don't really think compost by itself will be enough to push fast growth.
Then again, if you don't want them to grow real fast, just want to keep them alive, they are already as big as you want them to be, I think that would be just fine. It just depends on your goal with them.
