Build some kind of system to process your urine, urinate, sleep, and make kimchi. Your system could be as simple as a 5-gallon bucket hydroponic garden containing substrate with lots of surface area and lots of nitrobacter and nitrosomas bacteria.

In the spring of 2006 I sent my urine to a floriculture lab and learned that it contained all the nutrients necessary for plant growth but not in the ideal concentrations. So I put myself on a vegan diet that would transform my urine into an ideal liquid nutrient solution for plants. I ate lots of nuts and seeds, tofu, spinach, and other leafy greens and built a mobile urine recycling system outfitted with a urinal, urine processor and sterilizer, foam bed, kitchen, and hydroponic napa cabbage garden. I urinated, grew napa cabbages hydroponically with my urine, made kimchi from the napa cabbage, and served the kimchi to the public.
Kimchi is nasty enought without reading this.

I _knew_ I’d get some comments that would make me laugh today!!!
No wonder hydroponic pot smells so skunky....
I don’t know how I got into it a couple of weeks ago, but there’s all kinds of poop recyclers out there on You Tube. One guy was even trying to compost his dog poop. Oh, I remember—I was looking up regular composting. I’ll do some vegetable composting, but even if I had the land, I don’t think I could stomach poop composting.
Cabbage abuse. Abuse of cabbages. The poor things. This is disgusting.
paging FR’s kimchi expert, Tamar.
Yikes!
WTF...PING!!!
I’ve heard poop composting is quite dangerous - with pathogen growth, etc......
I love kimchi. This article is a pisser.
Urine trouble anyway ...
I am composting my dog’s poo. Maybe ....... just maybe.....
Didn’t they used to have Cabbage Pee dolls?
It's come full-circle since the Depression. When my aunt was a little girl in the late 1930s, the family outhouse featured not a pit, but a tub. When the tub got full it was dumped in the corn rows. This was in western Maryland.
Whoa.........you’re braver than I am to ping Tamar ..... I was too scared to .... she hasn’t been on TSN much lately, and I wasn’t sure if our humor level was up to snuff ....
This is exactly why I laugh at all the greenie, organic, health nut purists that buy their food at those expensive “natural food” markets.
It it’s organic, fat free, sugar free, food free...I don’t buy it.
Is that like a Chia obama?
Or you could grow a garden over your septic tank...
