I've got a Cletis Multrum composting toilet bin in the garage that produces a nice brown odorless liquid.
Needs leaves and an occasional sprinkle of bio agent to help it along.
You need a few more things…

Tractor, dump truck or manure spreader, compost media such as manure or used bedding, harrows, etc. This stuff takes time and isn’t an overnight fix. It’s taken me 3-5 years to ‘fix’ alkali soil in some spots on our land. A couple spots I was diligent and fed cattle over the alkali all winter long and then harrowed every spring. These spots now support a crop whereas before they would not.
