The design, development, and evaluation of a compact household aerobic composter optimize airflow through controlled aeration to promote composting. After 24 h, 12 h, 6 h, and no aeration, composting rate, efficiency, nutrient content (NPK), temperature profile, moisture content, and secondary physical qualities like color and biological activity were examined. Each composter received 0.5 kg of organic waste and was monitored for 8 days. Statistical analyses assessed the homemade aeration system. Temperature data was non-normal (p = 0.0031–0.018), but compost mass and percentage conversion were normal (p = 0.363). According to Kruskal–Wallis tests, aeration treatments did not substantially impact compost mass, % conversion (p = 0.368), or median temperature (p ≈ 0.1115 In one-way ANOVA, mean nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium concentrations did not change across treatments (p = 0.754, 0.381, and 0.837). Researchers found that the makeshift aeration composting system reliably converted organic waste regardless of aeration duration. Compact aerobic composters can manage residential garbage, according to the findings. Shredding may improve composting efficiency and system mobility, according to the findings.
