How does FAA compare to urine? – KNF Fuel (FAA) is amino acids urine is more nitrogen based it does have a few amino acids in it but KNF Fuel is a more complete source of aminos  …amino acids do more for the plant and microbiome ,some aminos do get broken down into nitrogen but not all the rest are used to help plants in many other way such as help produce chlorophyll ,build soil structure ,help the uptake of other nutrients and more

How would one use urine as a fertilizer?

Does fermenting it / inoculating it with IMO do anything? – Jadam talks of making Cheap Food (JLF) with both urine and humanure but both need to be fermented for more then 6 months to be used ….urine can be used as a foliar spray or soil drench at between 1:100 and 1:500 (but i would not use it on anything that had a fruit that i was gonna pick anytime soon) ….humanure can be used in the same way (it says in the book) but i would only use it as a soil drench and only on things like fruit trees and flowers …composting toilets can also be used in the same away as humanure

i would not say compost is needed but it is the best source of organic matter for your plants and one of the easiest to make there are 100s of videos/books on composting in tons of different ways

compost is a very good place to start also making (IMO 4) Activated Microbes will help a lot also and using Soil Prep Formula ….start with adding a good amount of compost to the soil to bring up the plant matter and get a loamy soil to grow in …spread the IMOs across the top of the soil just under the mulch layer to bring back the life to the soil, with out the soil being alive it will be harder to process the nutes the plants need, worm tea and JMS is a good source of microbes but the best will be in the IMOs,  JMS will help to get the microbes deeper into the soil and help to feed the IMOs, another great source of microbes is in (IMO5) Composted Microbes also called FMC (this is the source i use for IMOs) LIMO is another great way to get IMOs into the soil ….after adding compost to improve the soil and IMOs we want to go in with soil prep to add nutes and get the IMOs to chase the soil prep down into the soil (this is how i prep my beds with KNF, FMC IMOs and soil prep formula)  ….soil prep formula is made by using Food (FPJ) Cleanser (BRV) Medicine (OHN) Structure (WCAP) Protectors (LAB) Minerals (SW) this replaces the need for a all-purpose fertilizer

in Master Cho’s KNF there is no anaerobic decomposition it is fermentation much like a kimchi or sauerkraut but sugar is used instead of salt …in a KNF Food (FPJ) the sugar creates osmotic pressure to release the juices of the plant material and is done with a breathable lid so no anaerobic decomposition is happening …there is also microbes that help to break down the plant mostly LAB (like in fermenting pickles) also other microbes that live on the plant that are there naturally to help break down the plant this is why one 1 plant is used to make a KNF Food (FPJ) so that the microbes from multi plants are not competing during the fermentation process  …anaerobic decomposition is the process of breaking down organic material with the use of anaerobic bacteria it is slower, causes foul smells, high levels of methane gas to be released into the air and can be pathogenic ,it is not inherently bad for plants though cause all the anaerobes will die off once all the organics are gone …for 1000’s of years people have buried scraps in there garden ,made piles of stuff and just let them sit and put plants and scraps in buckets of water to rot much like the ways of Jadam, these are all forms of anaerobic decomposition used in gardening ….they are not the best for human health so should not come into contact with fruit and veg that you are going to eat soon or used in foliar sprays, I.E. in Jadam JLF should NOT be gotten in your mouth, eyes or open wounds best to not even get it on your skin in general, although in Master Cho’s KNF all things you make are safe for human consumption as long as non poisonous plants are used, with the exception of IMO’s (DO NOT EAT IMO’S)   ….in static/anaerobic composting by using KNF methods will help with speeding up, removing smells and lowering the gas released in the compost pile

i would guess that honey has to much water in it same as molasses and would not be suitable for use in KNF methods i have seen other natural farming methods that did rely on molasses u might be able to sub out honey in those ….happy experimenting =)
