We repeated an experiment of growing potato plants in municipal compost for the second year. I was expecting that additional time would have helped the compost to mature a lot more so that it would be able to release a better supply of nitrogen for the growing plants. But it seems without a lot of extra added nitrogen, many of the plants were not able to get enough nitrogen to grow well.
