I don't thinks it's a good idea to start in a compost Compost is very hot and could burn the seedling. Switch from compost to a soil mix.
ENG101 & MAT101 I recommend starting with the paper towel germination. Sprouts faster and you'll be able to see it's progress. Plate. Dampen a napkin. Put seeds inside. Fold napkin to cover seed. Cover napkin with another plate. Leave the plate in a dark area. Like Viking said, don't start with compost. Try to get an actual soil mix.
I agree with this. I have had a couple seeds break their roots in Rockwool. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk
My 2 cents, put the seeds in some mild soil from the store and keep it damp. I've had a 100% germination rate by just doing it the old fashioned way. Mild soil is something without fertilizer added. A small bag of potting soil would be fine. I don't believe that paper towel method sprouts faster, you're just able to see it sprout. Which is only good if you're impatient. Planting it in anything but the medium that you're growing in will raise the risk of damage to your little sprout when you do move it to soil. Totally unnecessary risk in my opinion.

I start mine in compost and don't get problems. There are a ton of different brands of compost, some are better than others, look for something light and fibrous and add plenty of perlite
Go look at my grow sir, I use an all inclusive mix that is recommended in the book "big yields, smells spaces" by Read Spear. It's called scientific soils So far so good, I let them sit in water for 24 hours and put them in that soil and bam all 3 are sprouted and ready to go -Nickolasjb420
