In short, place sticks angled into the dirt so that they cross one other providing support against collapsing or bending and support any plants nearby. You do not necessarily need to craft support for each sing plant if they plants are bunched up. Vine type and light-starved plants (like some potato species) will try to climb upwards using anything they can grab, which is why the palisade supports are good for helping them with their initial climb towards the light until their stems harden, without shadowing them or potential, shorter companion species (e.g. clover = soluble nitrogen factory). The palisades also support the plants in case they momentarily sway downwards because of wind or irrigation water pressure, keeping them stable enough to prevent early stem-snapping.

The palisade style can be done up until one feet, after which it would probably get too dense and shadowing. You could build sparser safety nets against falling  with some string and sticks here and there around the tops of the plants to block their falling attempts a bit. For long species, you need start making big up-right or slightly angled sticks to give your vines and the like something to grab onto. Species without tendrils such as tomato probably need some string to loosely align them with the support and to stop them from bending their lower stems with their top-growth’s weight. The more angled the up-right vertical stick, more stable the supports i.e. the less likely they are to fall or sway themselves. Some angled  cross sticks are required for stabilizing the up-right sticks, especially if you do not have a higher-altitude point to string-connect them to.

Summary: angled stick palisades are very good at supporting short plants and the vertical support structures.

In short, I discovered the effortlessness of do-it-yourself bottle drippers aka irrigation bottles and decided to turn most of my living spaces into cultivation beds. I happen to have a lot of random trash occupying that I can convert into cultivation and dripping water containers. The only things I need now are seeds and dirt. Dirt I can get by collecting some forest ground matter and seeds I can buy in both fresh and more conventional dried form.

My vision is to fill the apartment with tomato plants or something equivalent. 3D growing with stacked racks would be so sweet to achieve. I already have some woodworking experience and materials, making it a reasonable goal.

It is probably best to start with something not support-intensive or vulnerable such as root-cropping radishes and turnips. Radishes make crops in 20 to 30 days, making it a good practice plant. I also would like to grow my own spice plants such as chives (60 days) and to compare the farming costs versus the shop prices. I would like to try water melons (50 to 70 d, heat-requiring) and tomatoes (60 to 85 d).

I have a long track record of not pursuing big plans to the end, so it will most likely take a long while, depending on how much fun I find it all to be. I might post some photos about it later. My first goal is to plant my first batch of radishes and see what happens. My local discount store had them and other plants on sale last time I checked.

[ If you are wondering, my inspiration is the daily-irrigation-intensive Streptocarpus, a yellow flowering plant, that starts showing crumpled leaves less than 24 hours after the previous watering. If I am going to tend to these things, I might as well make it as easy as possible and to produce some crops in the process. All or nothing. Maybe that way I have a reason to turn on the heating. Muh melons. ]
