Default Multi Purpose Compost. Can seeds be grown in it?

Hi,

Is it OK to plant seeds in multi purpose compost?

The seeds I'm hoping to grow are....
sunflowers
tomatoes
cosmos

Thank you

I understand that seeds should be started off in the dark warm place
and the seed trays should be watered & covered with polythene.


I tend to mix some sharp sand with my compost to make it 'lighter' and give more
drainage.

Some seeds need light to germinate. Look on the packet.

and here's a useful site: http://www.theseedsite.co.uk/

Good luck and enjoy :~)
