Manure Question

I have a lot of clay clumps in the area I want to garden so?.

I was looking for a cheep soil replacement to plant vegetables in so I went
to home depot and found one cubic foot bags of Earth Grow Steer Manure Blend
(at a buck a bag) that says it?s A blend of steer manure and compost.

On the back of the bag it states ?do not plant directly into? Earth Grow
Steer Manure Blend.
I notice this stuff retains moisture, though on the other hand I heard from
2 other sources that using manure as a growing medium is standard practice.
What gives?
