Default Compost bin Question

Are there any dangers having a compost bin right next to growing

vegetables?

If a bin has been in same place many years I guess the ground beneath it
must be super rich. A nearby plant may grow roots into that area, possibly
to its detriment, depending on the plant.

I've got a yellow Buddleia globosa that's done that. No detriment so far, it
loves it. Even though I chop some roots off every time I take compost out.
