Default What Is Better ? & More Importantly Why ?

What is a better source of nutrients for a Banana Plant.

Manure or Grass Clippings, and why ?

I'm not anti-manure, although I am pro-grass, for many reasons aside from nutrients.

I know a banana will quickly grow on a slab of concrete without any soil,

using rocks to stabilize the base and only grass to fertilize the plant.

Grass clipping breakdown fast enough to be a useful source of nutrients for a young plant.

I might be completely wrong, but this is my line of reasoning.

A grazing animal eats the grass and removes some nutrients, but what do they

add to their manure that makes it more beneficial than the grass that they ate ?
