Hi AmberLeaf! Welcome to NGA!
I don't know anything about growing trees and tropical plants, but I would like to ask you a question. When you say "compost" and "seeds" in the same sentence, is that a different meaning than the "compost" in a "compost heap"?
I start seeds in a fairly-sterile soilless mix with lots of shredded conifer bark. I think the other ingredients are things like peat moss, coconut coir and Perlite. I've seen the word "compost" used by British gardeners to mean a"finely-divided but airy seed-starting mix".
My compost HEAP is rotting vegetable matter plus paper and sometimes shredded wood.
On your side of the Atlantic Puddle, do you start seeds in "soilless mixes", or in that "black gold" that we shovel out from under heaps of rotting vegetation and kitchen scraps?
