Question
Do you have an opinion about gardening with manure?

Answer
Cole
 I know of no harm of using manure in raising a crop. Just make sure that it is finished "cooking". That means it is completely broken down. You will get some use from using manure but you will still need to apply some fertilizer to help the crops grow.
Good Luck
