The pot should be fine, and full sun is advised, however your compost will probably be too strong to be used pure, as a planting medium. Home made compost can burn the roots of plants, probably best to mix it up, either with some soil or compost from the garden centre.
Yes I can do that KeenOnGreen, I have plenty of Jack Magic compost which could be used in the pot - maybe two thirds that and 1 third home made - mixed together. Thanks for the advice.
