the link only says what you have,so im asuming there are slow release nutes in it,so that said and from your country lack of getting other varieties of soil,go for it,but watch it,if it needs feed do so lightly until you can read the plant liking it or not all i can say,ive grown in 100%compost and it does quite well ,but you have to keep in mind it is compost and has a great deal of life to make it good or great,dont over feed or over water and you will be good i believe

GO BUY SOME SOIL! Why waste all the time and energy it'll take to finish a plant without the proper medium. Can you plant it in straight compost? Sure, but will it produce, probably not.

Yeah it'll work Bud, says 'peat based' they had a couple others like the potting mix, the salad and vegetable, and I forget the other one, but those also would work, just don't feed it for a while till you figure out how much nutes they added, good luck!

Keep in mind that straight compost can be pretty hot, depending on it's source. I'd be a little leaery of a straight compost medium with added nutrients until I had a better idea of how much nutrients are actually contained. Usually compost is added to provide bacteria with food and other needed compounds, acting like a fertilizer more than a medium. The term "compost" covers an awful lot of different materials and processes.
In a nutshell, yes, you could grow in straight compost and perlite. The success of it would be determined however, by the components that it is made from.
