Default wet wall construction

I have a 12 ft X 8 ft greenhouse and want to increase humidity. Foggers seem to be too powerful for my relatively small house.
Does anyone know where I can find details of a wet wall construction principle and operation?

Default Now lets think here . . .

We can come up with a better solution than a wet wall. Why don't you believe foggers would work? Foggers belong under the benches, you do not want leaves getting wet, you only want humidity around 70%.

Wet walls are designed for cooling purposes. The vent end has evaporation pads covering the vents and the exhaust fans pulls the outside air through the wet pads decreasing the temps by evaporation. Therefore it would not increase humidity when the greenhouse is closed. I too think a fogger rigged to a humistat would be a better choice for your needs.
