Hi, I’m Bernz—a DIY enthusiast, business coach, Reiki Master, and all-around builder who loves turning ideas into reality. Whether it’s helping others shift their mindset, launching businesses, or constructing hands-on projects, I’ve always been passionate about creating solutions that make life easier and more fulfilling.
My journey into aeroponic gardening started during the pandemic when grocery store shelves ran empty, and food security became a real concern. Living in a small space with no backyard, I wanted to find a way to grow fresh, organic food indoors—without the mess of soil or the limitations of traditional gardening.
After endless research (and plenty of trial and error), I built my own DIY aeroponic system using plastic totes, PVC pipes, and misting heads. I was blown away by how fast and efficiently plants grew using just water, nutrients, and air! But I also realized something—there wasn’t a simple, beginner-friendly guide that covered everything I needed to know in one place.
That’s why I wrote Do It Yourself Hydroponics: A Beginner’s Guide for People Who Can’t Even Keep a Cactus Alive—to take the guesswork out of indoor gardening and help others grow fresh food easily and affordably, no matter their space or experience level.
Now, I share everything I’ve learned—from DIY aeroponic builds to troubleshooting and automation hacks—so that you can start your own indoor garden with confidence. If I can do it, so can you! 🚀
Let’s grow together! Join me in my journey and start growing fresh, homegrown food today. 🌿💡
