Southlatropical,

I've not had a problem with the plants covered by the portable greenhouse drying out. The area is heavily mulched and a quick spray of water usually does the trick. I have had problems in my permanent greenhouse with a lack of humidity but rigged up a soaker hose on a timer (3 times a day) and that solved the problem. The floor of the permanent greenhouse is gravel.
