Nate,

You might have good reason to be concerned. 100% pure compost is going to be awfully light and airy. You could mix in some top soil which might help somewhat. However, on the other hand, when I worked at the Missouri Botanical Garden we used to plant bananas in great soil mix that had been amended so many times over the years that there was hardly any need to till it and I can't recall any of our bananas ever blowing over. Some of them probably reached 12'-14' tall. It's tough to say. Trial and error may be the only way.
