> Yeah, no that’s disgusting. Using pee and poop as fertilizer goes back millenia, so there has to be a better way. Maybe a separate urine toilet or urine separating toilet with smaller flush sending it to a compost with mulch/ash ?

Yeah... I mean I could already compost it with a compost pit... but the question was if we could separate Urine in a non disgusting way to supplement wood ash as a full spectrum fertilizer. Personally I have 2 ideas:
Let urine dry, then scrape and mix it with wood ash -> It will still smell like Urea/Ammonia, but the dry stuff won't slosh around disgustingly like stale liquid urine.
If there is a (non sprinkler !) watering system, like rubber hoses with holes, add a big water container in the system. Then either connect a urine only/urine separating toilet to this container or store and mix the urine manually (ewwwwww).

A better automated idea - connect rubber hoses to a big water container connected to both water tap and urinal. Make holes in hoses at regular intervals, then lay them across the crops. Set an electric switch to open valves at both water tap and hoses at a set time every day, say 6 in the morning.
What should happen is that fresh water would mix with the urine from the previous day and get released into the soil, thus avoiding all the dirty work
