Promotion of slow but steady growth and protection from soluble salts are reasons why seedling compost is good for growing seeds. Fertilizers can emphasize lush above-ground parts to the detriment of below-ground roots and seeds. Seedling compost tends to provide seeds and seedlings protection from the soluble salts in such necessary nutrients as calcium and magnesium compounds.

What does seeds do?
Every seed contains an embryonic plant that needs certain conditions to sprout and grow, and food for the seed to use until it forms into a plant. Seeds will germinate when they have water, warmth, and a good location such as soil. Germinate means the seed will begin to grow and put out shoots. The seedling's roots push down into the soil to absorb water and minerals. The seedling's stem and new leaves will push up towards the light and begin making food for the plant through photosynthesis.
What material does seeds grow?

Is soil and compost similar or the same?
They are "similar" - kind of part and parcel of one another - but they are not the same. Soil is a mixture of varying proportions of sand, silt, clay and organic matter. Compost is fully broken down organic matter - the "black gold" of good soil. The very best soil for growing will have a high percentage of compost, or "humus". Hence, compost by itself is a very important part of good soil. But compost by itself is not "soil".
