Never had compost like this before. Will they rot down a bit over the course of the year?

I've always had good seedling results with Verve. I buy the 120 litre packs so it's very cheap. It needs seived but I've rarely found anything in there that shouldn't be. I wouldn't use it solely to grow in long term, but as a mixer or early seedling medium I like it.
